This may seem obvious to the initiated, but I'm stumped. I have quite a few custom morphs (made with Magnets) which I wish to INCLUDE in a pose INJ file so that V3 can be loaded by the user then my tweaked V3 plus the custom morphs load at one go, so the character appears in one click. I've already received great help on this from a few people here, but I'm really stuck on this basic knowledge which I just cannot find tutorials on. DO I understand correctly that Custom Morphs (ie: morphs that are spawned from magnets) appear fine in a saved PZ3 file but do not show up when saved as a PZ2 file from within poser? If so, then I assume somehow the custom morphs must be saved as vertex-only OBJ files. But how to make this object file convert to and be included in a INJ pose file of the kind Injection Pose Builder makes. If I save to a CR2 file then reload the morphs appear, but I believe one cannot distribute CR2 files because of DAZ's copyright. Is there a utility which converts and combines custom morphs so a PZ2 file can be generated that shows all the custom morph dials when loaded into Poser 4? Thanks in anticipation of advice.

For third generation figures, INJection poses give you the ability to distribute your morphs without copyright problems, since they are in the form of deltas (differences from the original model) only and can't be used in any other way. At the [link], a thread asking the same question. And an answer, of course. :)

Thanks very much EnglishBob. I knew there had to be a utility out there somewhere to do this. Absolute gold dust and was surprised to see it was free....I would have gladly paid for it given the hassle of hand editing in an area where I just don't know enough. Thanks Again! Leonardis

Linked above is another method for adding a custom morph to a pz2 (pose) file.
