I used to work on Aiko 3 and Victoria 3. I just started on Victoria 4.1. I like the feature of V 4.1 magnetize pose, it seems to get clothes fit easier. As I know, to take advantage of this feature, the clothes have to be designed for it. I can't find any information about what make the clothes "V 4.1 magnetize pose compliant". Can someone help me on it? Any documentation or tutorial?

If a clothes item is conforming then the magnets will work (this is because to be conforming the body parts have to match).
Hybrid clothing should be treated as conforming (the dynamic part won't be affected).
Dynamic clothing doesn't need magnetising.

Do you mean that it is not necessary to create the morph for the clothing to work with V4.1 magnetize pose? That's simple!

magnetising the clothing is not connected to accomodating the body-shaping morphs (like bulk and body builder). V4 uses magnets on the figure in several places where earlier figures had JCMs - morphs that responded to the flexing of a body part - which were a pain for clothing makers to match. The magnetise pose makes the clothes respond to those magnets just as V4 does, so you don't get poke-through where V4's mesh is deformed and the clothing's isn't. The only user-controlled morphs that magnetising enables are a few of the breast morphs (up, down, in out etc.).

As Richard says the supplied magnets only do the figure's JCMs.
You can however get a magnet set that help you create matching (non-JCM) morphs for clothing -> http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/shop/itemdetails/-/?item=4895

Thank you both of you for taking time to reply my questions. Now, I have better understanding about the magnetize pose. There are information about the magnetize pose stated that not many clothing support that, therefore I wondered how to make the clothes that can be used with the magnetize pose.
I'll go ahead and make a piece of clothes for Victoria 4.1 and see how's things working out. I may have more questions, but I will shared the end result as usual because it will not happen without others' help.
