"parenting the cloth to a bodypart of the figure will keep the cloth with the figure"

This is not true (*) for all cloth vertices in any dynamic group, these are driven bij the sim mechanism only which looks at external forces (gravity, wind/air damping), at other cloth vertices (stretch), and at the vertices of any underlying object (collision)

This is true (*) for all vertices in the choreographed group (this is what choreographed is about, child object follows parent)

This is not true (*) for all vertices in the constrained group, these will stick to specific vertices of the underlying object whatever parent/child relationship is present

This is not true (*) for all vertices in the soft of rigid decorated group, these will stick to specific vertices of the cloth itself from any of the other groups

(*) as tested on PoserPro 2010, and communicated in this forum and in my tutorials. The sim result is not relative to the position of the parent object, when you move / animate the parent figure after the sim, the cloth won't follow but the sim needs to be re-run. Not retested on PP2012 / 14. You never know :-)

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
