Zaycrow,

Quote - ?? Lesbentley, first you say my statement is incorrect, and then you say the same thing I did :)

Perhaps I am not understanding you correctly. To me, we seem to be saying very different things. You say, quote:

"When the pose is saved where the HIP is selected, the pose is locked in x,y,z."  and "... make sure the BODY is selected and not the HIP before saving."

By that, I take it you are referring to the hip or BODY being the selected actor (active element) in the document window. You seem to be implying that it makes a difference whether the hip or BODY is the selected actor when the pose is saved.  

But I'm saying that it makes no difference whether the hip or BODY is selected, the resulting pose is the same!

If I have misunderstood you, I apologise, but I can't think how else to read it.
