hi,
can anyone tell me how to access my D/S content from Carrara please?

Carrara can see any runtime folder of the poser file structure. You go to the browser window and click on the little arrow over on the right, options appear for linking to a runtime folder. Once linked, you can add content to the folder without re-linking, C6 remembers the file path. You may need to "refresh" the folders before it sees the newer files.
I know that the D/S content downloads in the poser file structure. You may only need to tell C6 where the files reside on your computer. If installing the files into D/S involves altering the file structure, you can re-load the original content into a new external runtime.
There is a DAZ tutorial on external runtimes (intended for poser, but it is the same as what C6 expects to see).

thanks for input, C5Pro doesn't seem to recognise the file structure of D/S. pointed at the content folder in the prog but nothing shows up even after refreshing. i do have Poser 5 here somewhere. so i will install that and load it up(D/S can use the poser runtime). i'm afraid i do not know how to set up an external runtime, although that would be a good idea when i fit the second drive tomorrow(500Gb Western Digital)

I think the use of runtimes began with C6. (I only started using Carrara when C6 came out).
The way many other Carrara users get poser content in (and with C5) is to go file>import. It works well.

All you can do with version 5 is export your object or your scene as a OBJ file; then import the OBJ in Carrara.
