Technical question here- I'm not shy of editing cr2 files by hand, but I don't know all the little details.

I'm making a conforming harness item for the Poser horse. I've made them before without this problem, but this time I can't see what I've done wrong. It happens in both Poser 5 and Poser 4. I've go the latest service release for P5, and I'm working on XP SP2.

I've used the horse cr2 as a base, zeroed with IK off (and I've double-checked it was zeroed to make sure as well!). Load up the horse figure (either default or zeroed, it makes no difference). Load up the harness, it loads all nicely zeroed. Conform the harness, and it jumps into a pose that's the horse's unzeroed state (in addition to any pose the horse is in).

In the course of investigating, I tried loading two (zeroed) copies of the horse and conforming one to the other. The conformed horse had the same problem as the conformed harness. So just what is going on here, why is this the first time I've had the problem, and how do I fix it so the harness conforms properly??

I know it's Christmas... I was hoping to be able to post the thing as a freebie for Christmas. It works fine if you manually zero the harness in Joint Editor after conforming it, but it's not /right/.

Any ideas, anyone, please?
