I have Vue 6 Inf and I am working on a night scene with motorcycles in them I've got the lights for the bikes, i.e head and tail lights, positioned right but I want to move the bikes down the road. How do I parent the point lights to the bikes so I don't have to move the bikes then the light and so forth?
Thanks!

group them together and move the grouped items - seems like this should work although I can't try it right now because I'm rendering

I use:  Object "Pick Link Parent"

Select the light, go to menu bar, ObjectPick link parent, click on bike, job done!!

Injustice will be avenged.

If they are acting as the head and tail lights, you could just group them with the motorcycle.
Give each light a suitable name, then in the objects list, click and drag them into the motorcycle group.
