Quote - Hi there, I am sorry for this rather bizarre post. I really do not mean to troll. I wondered, could anybody have a look in the current Poser Pro documentation to see what is actually written there about the side effects of memorizing a pose? Is there anything that would indicate a relation to either IK, conforming, or both? I recently learned it can have an effect on IK, this was new to me, must have missed it. Sometimes one misses the most obvious things. I do not have a working computer at home, and no access to the documentation PDFs. But I think it might be a good information for those of you who use PML, and if there was something written, it would not hurt to point everyone onto it. Maybe others are not aware either. I had no reports about IK not behaving, but this might be because PML doesnt work with IK enabled anyway :) Cheers, col
This is what the manual says:
Memorize
While working, you might arrive at a convenient stopping
point. You know you like what you have so far and do not want
to revert all the way back to the Poser default state should you
need to restore one or more scene elements (or even the entire
scene) at a later time. No problem. Select Edit > Memorize and
the element(s) you wish to memorize (the list is the same as for
the Restore submenu, above). Doing this essentially changes
the default for your selected item(s), which can be undesirable
in some cases. Redoing this operation saves the new default
overwriting the old. If you later select Edit > Restore, your
element(s) will be restored to the last memorized settings.
It is very important when setting up new figures
to use the Edit > Memorize > Figure command
to preserve default poses so that Inverse Kinematics
works properly.
Memorization works on a per-file basis, meaning that
memorizing defaults in one file does not affect the defaults of
other Poser files or Library entries.
