I've lost functionality in my export features. The image above shows what I can check... and that's it. I've been using P4 for years and never had this problem before.

I noticed it when trying to export an object for morphing; I cannot check the box for, "As Morph Target(no world transformations)".

Then, I discovered I can no longer check several other selections either! The only thing I seem able to check is, "Include figure names..." & "Weld body parts..."

Has anyone else run into this? What in the world would cause it? Is there a fix? I can reload the whole program again, but would really rather not if there is an easier fix. Cross-posted with regular Poser forum.

I can't help you with this because I've never heard of it before... ever. But weird things do happen in poser. What I wanted to suggest (for future use) was Swamp's 'Q Fix'. He posted this in the regular forum a long time ago and I've found it can fix a lot of weird poser problems. What you do is, after a fresh install of poser, make a copy of all the files in the main poser folder, the one above Runtime. That's the poser.exe, poser.rsr, etc. Just leave out the readmes. Store them in a separate folder somewhere called Q Fix, (or whatever you want), and when poser acts weird, replace all the poser files with your Q Fix copies. Another thing I do is rename the Q Fix poser.exe (I called it hoser.exe - LOL) to stop installers including it as a valid poser destination. Another thing that EVERY poser user should do is set the main poser.rsr (in the main poser folder) to 'read only'. Right-click it, select properties and choose 'read only'. This stops it corrupting every time poser crashes. Anyway, this is probably no good to you now, but you might want to try out if you have to re-install. mac Oh, and another thing. I NEVER select 'as morph target' when exporting morphs. I uncheck everything. I've had weird results with 'as morph target'.

A trick that sometimes works is when you have the export box open, start any other program, even the Windows clock. No one knows why it works.

I may have to reload everything. Now I can't set the parameter dials to new limits. sigh Thanks for the Qfix tip. I'll definitly have to do that this time.
