I'm reading on the DAZ forum so I may have misread, but it reads like if you want autofit to workin the release version of C8.5 you have to have CMS running?

Wish I could double check this stuff, I did it all the time when I was on the DAZ forum. But I do know you didn't need CMS running for autofit to work in the the beta.

"Okay, I had started a thread a while back regarding C8.5 and CMS issues.  That thread was about various poses that did NOT work UN LESS the CMS was running."

"I have just tested the Auto Fit.  With CMS running – the choices for garment type DO appear.  WITOUT the CMS running, the choices for garment type do NOT appear." kakman

Now tell me again how DAZ isn't forcing people in to useing CMS and DIM. Is it actually possable to download and install C8.5 with out DIM?

I find it highly suspicious that we didn't need CMS or DIM for the beta but aparently you do for the release version. It really looks like DAZ is going to take that next step so you wont actually be able to use DAZ content or apps with out having DIM and CMS installed and running. 

The more I read about what DAZ screwed up between the beta and the release of C8.5 the happier I am I didn't buy in to it. It's not like DAZ will fix any of it before C9. If then.
