Quote - Agreeing with HBorre. First thing I do when I install a new version of Poser is delete the figure, delete the lights and set my own, disable pmds (I'll still be doing this because of the scripts I run) and set Preference to inches and launch to preferred scene. Then do Set Preferred Scene.

I've seen a lot of people suggesting changing prefs to 'inches' but still unclear how this benifits the overall process?
