I just selected my Main(Infinite) Light, opened the Parameters Palette, and looked to the Parent button, but it was grayed out? I then selected the Object menu, to use "Change Parent...," but it was grayed out also? I enjoy looking at my figure from a few different angles, but my lights are set for setup to illuminate mostly just the front of the character(for the Main Camera with no Y-Orbit.) So, when I move the Y-Orbit of the camera, I get darkness of the rear of my character! If I could have parented the lights to the Main Camera then the whole set would have taken on the Y-Orbit of the Camera and kept my scene's lighting constant? What to do? Ockham has RotateLights2.PY, but something more automatic would be nice! I've seen something about this at DAZ3d.com tutotial Arcana, but it did'nt seem to really show how?

Change it to a spotlight, then parent it, and then switch back to infinite light.
