Excellent!  No more drivin' around in circles! 

 

"Nah, it means that something new is still compatible with the older version."

 

I see. So how far back would think a Poser Figure would need to be compatible?

 

 

I believe a Poser figure dating back as far as Poser 1 will work in Poser 2014. On the ohter hand, that compatibility is one way.  Poser 10 figures such as Roxie or Rex will not work in Poser 8 or lower. It may work in Poser 9, but  there may also be some issues.
