As stated above.

Thanks :)

Here's a little Python script to do it quick and dirty.  I think Les Bentley has
some pose files that do the same....

If you know the name of the parameter, you can write a pose file along these lines:

Thanks for the unhide link.

If I have a prop in poser and it has a lot of parts is there a way to group all the files so can use the unhide dials only one time insteaad of having to check each file and then run the script.

Basically get stuff un-hidden the way you want it to be, and re-save the prop into the library, if I understand you right.  The dials will be visible when you load the newly-saved prop.

My questions is in my props collection I have a model with lots of parts and I have to select each part and run the python script for each part which is time consuming.

 Is there a way to group all the parts and run the phyton script only one time to unhide the dials for all the parts.

Thanks for replys.

As written, no, doesn't look like it.  You'd only have to do it the one time and re-save the prop though.

Ok, Thanks. I understand

Maybe someone can write a script that will do them all at once. :)

you can use wordpad
open the uncompressed file, do a search  and replace all

hidden 1 replace with hidden 0
line will look like this

initValue -0.017

hidden 0

forceLimits 0

min -100000

max 100000

Thanks for the notepad information.  Using UltriEdit I can do them all with one click. This is what I was looking for. :)

Much faster than doing one at a time with the python script. :)

Thanks for the info :) Great work!

I accidentally floated the parameter dial and now I can't find it even though it is checked in the window options.

If checking off and back on doesn't bring it back and you didn't save a UI dot, I'm afraid you will need to set it back to factory settings under General Preferences.

If you're using poser 11

Wait a minute, are you sure that restores the hidden panel or does it only unhides the dials? I believe the post mentions a floating panel behind the main UI.

the OP mentions no such thing :)

if you have lost a panel - the easiest way to restore it is to go to

Edit > General Preferences >

check Launch To Factory State and restart poser

Unfortunately this will eliminate all your custom UI setup! So basically you're back to Poser5 interface...

I'd rather suggest to try to fix your problem by manually editing the poser.ini file or some such.

Too tired this early morning to look which file and which parameter you need to edit, but I hope some others will chime in with a solution.

well the parameter dial suddenly reappeared in its original position. Thanks for all the responses.
