Just had to express my joy at finding a menu option for duplicating your objects in Poser 7. Finally after all these years. I've been buying Poser since version 4 in 1999 and this is a long overdue addition.
Just had to post this.

Yeah, that was IMO one of two things that all by themselves made it worth the upgrade. The other one is the multiple undo's

Earlier versions of Poser can duplicate props using the Grouping Tool.

I'm glad you're ALL excited about how to duplicate things -- but you didn't share what you learned. So the rest of us are still in the dark. I did it once but then I forgot. So you better write it down!

it's either in the file or edit menu - I can't recall offhand which and I'm at work so I can't check

It's in the Edit menu

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks. I forgot once but I will check it out and then write it in my notes for future reference. I have a project that I need to duplicate a bunch of stuff.
Thanks.

Warning about duplicate. It will duplicate everything which is associated. So if you duplicate a prop which is parented to a figure which has clothes associated with it, everything is duplicated. It would have been nicer if duplication only affected an object/figure and it's children. (I found this out the hard way -- I duplicated some clothing worn by a figure, intending to change it in the material room to a displacement-based mud-splattered second skin, and got a second copy of the figure, its clothing, the props the figure was holding.
On the other hand, it does make some things very easy. I'm nearly finished with a rendering of a mobile made of identically morphed and posed figures, which differ only in their textures. This makes it very easy.

yes, I have a project with exact duplicates -- similar to your mobile.
Thanks for the thoughts because it lets me know what can and cannot happen.

The numbering can also get a little wierd at times too, with "Figure 2" wearing "Dress 3" and the like.

If duplicatging a figure with or without IK .
The duplicated one will have IK ON. So remove it before moving the figure.

Wow, now that is a cool addition. Does the new object remain linked to the old one in any way? When I tried to use PoserPython in P5 to duplicate objects, they would remain linked in the memory and changes to the mesh in one (at least those undertaken using Python) were reflected in the other, as well.
Actually, they probably wouldn't be linked. The Python effect seemed to result from a failure to finalize the process of adding the new object before it was altered. I doubt anything like that happens. Hmm.
I guess I need to test this! Woot! New things! Golly, did they create a Python function to make use of this new option? (Cage rushes off, muttering to himself....)

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

Exactly! Ain't no big deal, IMO.

Hey Cage!
I love your obsession with Bat Girl/Barbara Gorden. She needs to be upgraded to V4. Will that be coming soon? I'm so new, I don't know how to do that on my own.
If I bought that new program that PhilC wrote and Poser is advertising, would that convert them to a bigger size?

How can this be made by python script?
