Subject: Bug in PoserPro symmetry command?

I've been running into a weird problem with DAZ figures (DAZ Victoria 3 & 4, Aiko 3, Michael 3) in Poser Pro when using the "symmetry" swap commands...once the swap is complete, it seems to cause some weird crosstalk in the figure (some of the morphs are repeated from the body to the part). The individual swap leg commands cause the legs to lift up regardless of the starting position (not mirrored). This does not happen in Poser 7 with the same figures and has been replicated on another PC.

Has anyone else run into this?

Did you try turning off IK's before swapping?

yeah, I did, no effect. After some more playing around with it, I found the same effect even in native Poser figures (Simon, Sydney)...what seems to be happening is it is writing the values from the figures body dials some of the effected limbs (shoulders, collars, thighs) limbs...in effect, doubling the morph.... Ockham's Python utility "swap" does the same think (is the built in command a Python script?) again...this works fine in Poser 7 and Poser 6.

I've reinstalled PPro on two different computers (but both on Vista x64) and noticed the same effect....very strange. Am I the only one this is happening to? Seems like a very large bug.

I can reproduce this problem.

I suggest you go onto the Poser Pro forum over at Content Paradise and report it there: the Poser software team do read the posts.

I can reproduce it too but it only does it with the "Swap Right and Left" commands. All the swap from one side to the other work fine.

Can you confirm this too?

We're looking into it. :)

I forgot to say I'm using XP64. So it not just a Vista thing.
