Hi all I'm new here and hope some one can help me. I just started using poser 8 got it for christmas and got it installed played around with it and do like it. My problem is I was in the Material room doing some different colors for clothes and what not. but now when I go back to the room my tools are all over the place and I can't figure out how to get the all back to the default setting. there must be a way to do it . I just can fine it. I tried the restore button but that didnt do anything.
I have windows 7-64 bit amd black edition 965 x4 with 8 gig ddr3 on board memory and 9800 nivda video with 1gig of vddr3 menory.

go to the menu, edit, general preferences, interface tab, launch to factory state. then restart that should put you back.

They really should add some workspace features similar to Adobe products. I keep undocking some panels and sometime there's no way of putting them back where they were. It would be good to be able to save your workspace layout...

When you have your workspace how you want it, you can disable the drag-docking features on all the workspace panels. I keep mine floating so I can rearrange the space as I work.

The problem is that sometimes P8 gets funky and the only thing to do is to delete your prefs, thereby throwing your workspace layout out the window.

Luckily I've never had P8 go funky on me, but I see your point.

You might want to try this:
First, you need to do this ...
Now .. setup your screen the way you want it arranged (floating windows, etc.) ... and then ...
Now, when Poser gets "funky" ... just click on the UI Dot that you set ... and ...
Note - "Alt"+"Click" on a Dot to clear or reset it.
Walla !!! :biggrin:

P.S. Thanks 4 the graphic raven.
You beat me to it cuz I was too busy editing my text to (hopefully) make sure I had covered all the bases.

Does the UI dots info get deleted when the prefs file gets deleted? (I don't really know as I've never had to do it, but I've seen a few people here say that deleting the prefs file is the only way to solve certain Poser issues).

No ... the UI Dots info does NOT get deleted ... ... Because the "UI Dots" data are stored in separate files, e.g., "uiDot_(X).xml" where X is the dot position, e.g., 1 through 9.

Ah, well, that's the answer then - 'use the dots Luke'.
