Hi, this probably sounds like a hopelessly lame question, but I can't figure out how change the dimensions of keyframes on the animation pallette so that more will be displayed per inch. I know it's possible because I did it accidently once, but I don't know HOW i did it.  As it stands the most I can view is 155 of them, if I want to keep the column with the names of them visible on the left hand side. I've already expanded my desktop to its maximun size. If I could see all 600 or so of them that would be great, even if each is a tiny sliver.  There's got to be SOME way of zooming in and out, but I can't find that in the poser 7 manual or anywhere on the web.

Just under "Play Range" at the bottom of the list in the animation palette, there is a little box with a two headed arrow, just next to the position slider. Click on it and drag left to shrink the keyframes

Dave, that boxdoesn't seem to be there. I should have said I'm using poser 7. But I know it's possible because I did it accidently once.  I haven't used "shrink" in any of my google searches. "Squeezed", "Collapse" "reize," but not "shrink." I'll try that.

But thanks.

I'm use Pro 2014, can't remember when that feature was added. Have you tried resizing by clicking and dragging on the end of the scroll bar itself? That's how it works in the graph palettes.

No, nothing. I can change the size of the window, but not the keyframes in it, and the graph pallette doesn't seem to have that feature in it, either. It's maddening because I did SOMETHING that made it that way a couple days ago, but can't replicate it.

Thanks Wolf359, exactly what I was trying to explain, I thought that I'd used the same method on the scroll bar of the animation palette too, in versions before the "widget" appeared.

I see how that works on the graph, but it doesn't do anything to the animation pallette. The time I accidently did something to it squeezed the whole thing down to about 1/5 of its normal width so I could see all the frames in it without moving the play arrow. I can work without that but it sure would make it easier to be able to do that. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Frustrating when you knoww it can be done. Sorry I can't help further, I just can't remember enough of Poser 7 as distinct from later versions.

Thanks for your help. If it weren't for this forum I'd have scuttled the project I'm working on weeks ago.
