I know this has been asked before but the forum search engine is medieval. It will only let you search one month at a time. I don't even know the year let alone the month.

I have selected the light but the "set parent" is greyed out, it doesn't matter what type of light it is. You can't do it in the hierarchy editor either. I have searched in the Poser 6 Manual and in the Practical Poser 6 book - no luck.

In the past I think I managed to parent a point light to a torch or lantern in poser6. I'm sure it moved with the torch/lantern

Change the light to a spot light, parent, switch back to infinite.

When I set my light to a spot light the set parent option becomes available. I often do this to parent it to the main camera. I find that once it is parented I am able to reset it back to being an infinite light. In this way when I view a model from different angles it retains an even illumination.
