Let me see if I can keep this simple, 'cause it's kinda hard to explain.

I open a figure in Poser, add morphs and play with the dials until I get the shape I want. I then load (for example) a pair of pants and want to use some preset magnets to help the pants conform to the shape of the figure's morphs. Once the magnet loads, it does not parent to the pants, it ends up parenting to the figure.

So far, the only way I have found to get around this is to start a scene, load the pants, then load the magnet onto the pants. THEN I have to import the scene with the figure just so I can use the magnets properly.

I have upgraded from Poser 7 to 11, so I don't know if this was an issue in past versions, but it seems like there is some option or setting that is preventing the magnets from parenting to the selected object rather than the figure. I have tried changing the figure names too (I don't get why Poser now calls the initial figure "Figure" instead of "Figure 1"), but that doesn't seem to work either. This has become very frustrating because it takes me twice as long to fit clothing to figures if I need to employ magnets, which the whole point of having them is to speed things up when you put them in your library as a preset option.

PP2014 here, and the magnets parent to the correct body part. Are you sure you have the correct body part OF THE PANTS selected?

Nope, don't need to select a certain part, they're already parented to the part when they're put into the library. They've always worked in Poser 7, not sure why this would be different. Someone at RDNA mentioned there's another update, I'm gonna download that and see if that helps.

New update did not work, still loading to the wrong figure.

It seems to be a Poser 11 bug. I have run into this problem as well. I have magnets that worked prior to Poser 11. Please report this bug to Smith Micro.

I shall do that as soon as I get home, was hoping maybe someone knew if there was a fix.
