Rather than saving your characters as pose files, try saving figures. It holds the scaling and everything else.

I always save my characters to the Figures (Characters) library, so that their clothing, hair, jewelry, etc. gets saved along with them. But CR2 files don't hold poses, only figures and props.

What I want to save to the Pose library for my tiny character are the dozens of poses I've put her into by adjusting the various pose dials on all the actor body parts. I don't use IK or third-party poses b/c they seem (to me) to create more problems than they solve. I prefer being able to create the whole pose myself.

However, thus far I have not found a reliable way to save the poses I've created for my tiny character -- and by "reliable" I mean that I can apply the pose to the character in t-pose and have it work just like the original pose. Even the PoseWriter Panel that comes with Poser, which has an option to save scale info, has not been reliable.

I haven't made any figures that small, so I don't know about the dial sensitivity, but you can adjust individual dial sensitivity on parameters pallet.

The only problem is: if you adjust the camera's dial sensitivity to work better for viewing the tiny character, it becomes awkward to use when viewing the full-sized characters!

Here's what I'm wondering now: is it awkward to deal with this tiny character simply b/c she's so small relative to the others OR does it have to do with the fact that she's a scaled-down V4 (rather than a figure that's natively tiny).

I appreciate everyone's responses, but I guess not many other Poser users have this "tiny" problem! :-)
