When I parent the sword to the (in this case) left hand, the swords gets totally deformed...:-(((

Why is that?

It happens with other swords too, but not with all?

Hand is from V4.2

Please help ....

I've seen this once myself. Tell me, is the sword you used a figure?  If the sword is a figure and not a prop, that means someone screwed up the rigging. 

WARK!

No, the sword is a prop for victorias left hand

Did you happen to have enabled or enable "Inherit bends of parent"?

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.

Oh yes, having the inherit bends of parent enabled  will deform the sword in ways you wouldn't believe.  Did it a few times myself--Jan

... now I found out there must be something "wrong" with the "predefined" V4-handpose-files for V4... (.*.hd2 )

If I use V4 with all her MORPHS and "give" her the left-hand-parented sword (a prop) in her hand, everthing is perfect. Even with "inherit bends of parents" enabled.

BUT, as soon as I go to the "hands" library in POSER an click on a left or right hand-pose for V4, the sword starts to deform...

That's odd.  I don't have any hand poses for V4 so I take it that these are 3rd-party poses.  Maybe something in the pose file is affecting a child (expectedly or unexpected) and the sword is being treated as some other prop?

Yes, 3rd-party poses .... and/or maybe something else too....

i bet the hand in the poses is scaled a bit.  scaling and parenting don't go together
could be scaled in the hand part or passed on into the body part

go that way really fast.
if something gets in your way
turn
