ADDENDUM:

You have to understand the differences between a Figure, a Character, and Expressions / Poses: (I'll skip Custom Morphs here, to focus on the important issues:)

!

A FIGURE:

Is just the base mesh as it loads and sits there in your workspace.

!

A CHARACTER:

is everything you dial in with the dials, or add as custom morphs,with the final goal of creating a - yep! - a Character: a unique shape.

!

AN EXPRESSION:

It should NEVER change the dials that were used to create A CHARACTER, because these dials were applied by your "customer" painstakingly to create his carefully-designed CHARACTER he named "Gabrielle" (for example).

Can you imagine the overjoyment of your "customer" if your "Expression" or "Pose" destroys all his work with a single click on your "pose"??

AN EXPRESSION POSE MUST NEVER CONTAIN ANY "FACE SHAPE" DIALS - EVER!

!

A POSE (a.k.a Body Pose):

The same as already mentioned in the "Expressions" paragraph" applies here:

IF you create Poses, then DO NOT (NEVER, EVER!) include other morphs or scales in your pose file, unless you want to make your customer raving mad by destroying his carefully dialed body morph.

A POSE must ONLY contain the ROTATION dials. NOTHING ELSE!

!

Again, sorry for shouting in parts, but I'm sick of this board's user-unfriendly handling of text formatting.
