A bit confused, and Im sure this has been asked before, but.....

As a longtime Poser 4 user, I was very familiar with how to save poses and 'smart props' for use in other scenes.  Does DS have this capability?  All of my content is from the Poser 4 runtime, accessed through DS.  I examined the save as function, and the save as script seemed like the right thing, but I didnt get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

For poses, File>Save as>Pose preset...., but the saved items will be in DAZ|Studio format and so won't appear in the Content palette when viewing a Poser content directory. You can access yhem either by saving them to a D|S content directory and viewing that in the Content palette or by using File>Merge (if it's something you're going to use often, bring it up in the Content palette then right-click and select mak custom action which will add it to the Scripts menu). You can also use the free Poser format exporter to save a Poser format pose file.

At the moment the only way to save things is as a scene. That means you can't save parenting information, so there's no way to mimic the Poser smart prop system (though I think you could do it with a handwritten script, the Snap parent command is a script itself).

Thank you much, I'll give that a try
