heyas; i was going through the detail gruntwork of setting joint limits and naming the xrot, yrot, zrot dials to real names. but then i came to my senses! in some of my figures, the rotation orders are all (or 90%) the same. so i went through cr2editor and did a search and replace. first, i changed the hip by hand, and saved the cr2. then i searched for zrot, which happened to be the twist axis, and i replaced "name zrot" with "name GetStringRes{1028,2)" (or whatever secret # 'twist' is), which is what comes out in the cr2 if you use a standard poser name like 'twist.' same for the bend and side-side. THEN i saved and opened the search/replaced figure, and what's the name on all the dials? GetStringRes(blahblahblah). now how the heck do you figure that??? sheesh. anyrate, i went through and just changed name zrot to name twist. but it isn't internationally compatible ;) oh, another thing! if i change the order of the rotatey rotatex rotatez things in the cr2, just to change the order of the dials when you use poser, will that screw up the cr2 for 'knowing' which one is the twist?
