First off, I'm new to this forum, so hi all!

I've been playing around with Poser 5 for several weeks now, and have been assembling increasingly complex scenes, with varying degrees of success. The latest problem that I've encountered involves applying a preset pose to a figure and then moving it (or vice versa).

With the latest piece I'm working on, I had positioned my figure where I wanted her in the scene and then tried applying the pose I wanted. The pose went in fine, but had the side effect of placing the figure back where Poser had originally created it. Ok, I thought, I'll just pick up the figure and move it back. Unfortunately, as soon as the figure leaves the ground gravity takes over and body parts start flopping all over the place! My immediate thought then was to lock the figure, but that seems to mean that you can't do anything to it at all, including move it!

So it appears I'm caught between a rock and a hard place: if I apply the pose where the figure is created I can't move it without losing the pose, whereas if I move the figure first I'll just end up back at square one when I apply the pose!

My apologies if this a completely noob question with an obvious solution but, well, I am a noob! Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
