There's actually a pretty good free armpit JCM from DAZ already. It's not included but it's not hard to pick up either.

This has been available for quite a long time now (since December 2008) and I kind of agree, I'm a bit surprised DAZ hasn't just integrated it. I guess they're afraid of breaking people's conforming clothing rigs, I dunno. They could have given you a dial to control it, at worst.
Quote - Parenting instructs the figure to inherit all the data from the figure and will help with the scaling issues.
That isn't really correct, it will inherit scaling from the BODY only, not the shins/thighs and all the other stuff going on, and all the proportions dials do more complex things than just scale down the body. You CAN get scales to automatically hook to corresponding V4 scales, but it is not trivial (modify the conformer CR2 in an editor and add ERC code to do it for each body part) and this makes the checkbox in P8 apply twice - and aside from that, the conformer probably won't deform the same as the character, when the character is posed. The old workaround was to not conform the garment, just make the character its parent, and to apply poses to both the character and the garment (i.e. a huge pain).
