I'd like to create 4 different poses for a character and be able to recall them whenever I want. Is this what Memory Dots are for? If not, what can I do to "save" these four poses? Thanks!

You can use those dots, but it's MUCH better in the long run to set up proper Pose files with names. Just get into the Pose library and hit the + sign at bottom, then select the parts you want to affect. This will give you a recorded pose that you can name, and an image you can see. The dots are anonymous; you have to keep in mind that the northeast dot represents sitting at a chair and the 2nd dot from the bottom represents standing on one foot, or whatever. My memory isn't good enough to store that much info when a better option is available.

Memory dots are useful when you develop a pose. You can progressively save dots as you get different limbs where you want them. It is a multilevel undo, if you use them right. They are not meant to be permanent. ALT click to erase. They do not overwrite by just a straight click. The active ones are lit.

Hi. Ockham and Jaager are right, but if you need any further information about the dots, my latest tutorial tries to explain it. :) Hope it can be of some help too. SnowS
