Just created a bunch of simple PZ2 prop goto poses that position/orient a prop correctly for the right/left hand of various figures, and smartparent it to the appropriate hand. (Original Poser forum thread - Poser 6: 'Goto' poses for props?)

But in DS3 the smartparent doesn't work.

Nothing fancy, just setting smartparent, x/y/zRotate, and x/y/zTran like this:

{
version
    {
    number 6
    }
actor $CURRENT
    {
    smartparent lHand
    channels
        {
        rotateY yRotate
            {
            keys
                {
                static  0
                k  0  5.90536
                }
            }
        ...etc...
        translateZ zTran
            {
            keys
                {
                static  0
                k  0  0.0365292
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I guess that DS doesn't know which figure you're trying to parent to? How do I fix this?

I've already created smartprops that load in the hand of the figure. But these prop goto poses are for use with props already in the scene.

(I've also done a PoserPython script that does the same thing, i.e. moves, orients and parents the prop, and I'm working on a similar DS pose script. But I'd like to get the basic PZ2 prop goto poses working in DS too)
