Quick stupid question from me, Does the exporter actually export anything or does it just link to the items in the runtime?

The reason I'm asking is I have Poser installed on my Windows partition & Ubuntu doesn't have access to it directly, if I can move the exported files to a drive that Ubuntu does have access to & not need access to the Windows partition I can render in Ubuntu as well as Windows from the same files. Does that  make sense?

Windows 7 64Bit
Poser Pro 2010 SR1
