I normally group all the clothes under the figure's body so if I scale the body the clothes scale. This always worked even back to poser 4. I had to reinstall poser pro 11 a few weeks ago and now, when I use a pose on a figure from the library, all the clothes items get some odd rotations assigned to them that are not in the pose file. I have to zero out each cloth item's rotations. Now if I pull the clothing items out of the body to the Universe everything poses fine. This just happened when I reinstalled. I thought it might be multithreaded bending but that is not it. Is there some setting I missed somewhere?

This is in poser pr0 11 64 bit. PC

Added - I did discover I can prevent this by locking the figure from the figure menu for each piece of clothes but I didn't have to do that before.

IF you could go to SM and open a bug report on this they can work on fixing this in the next update!!

Conforming or prop clothing? If it's conforming, why parent the clothing to the corresponding figure? In Poser 11, conformed clothing automatically scales with the figure, you need to activate the appropriate tick boxes in the clothing properties panel. Now if you are using content not intended for a particular figure, I can see where that can present a problem. In that case, you might try copying joint zones from the parent figure to correct the issue.

I do so because it declutters the hierarchy menu. Makes it far easier to pick the base figures. Also I have found the clothes do not scale when scaling the base. Seems something changed since about 2 weeks ago. Now I did get a much faster machine and I was thinking it maybe the issue but I'm not sure. I just never had this problem in the past.

Figured it out. The poses that cause the problems are poses with the following line

refFigure JamesG2

Any pose without that line works fine. On my old system Poser seems to ignore this. On my new system it seems to use this. Its referencing JamesG2_DEV.crz in the RuntimefiguresRepose folder. If I rename this file the new poser install barks at this saying it can't find the file but then poses the figure just fine while the old setup doesn't complain. So it must be some setting somewhere. These are both exactly the same poser pro 11 versions.

I tried but the form won't let me enter the serial number. It doesn't have room for the whole number

Thanks for posting this. I'm having the same issue with Genesis 2 figures that I've imported via DSON. The clothing automatically parents to the figure. Locking them fixed that issue here as well.

Now, if I could figure out how to get this guy's teeth to stay in his head when I pose him. Ugh.

What do you use to edit the pose file? Just a text editor?

Another option for collecting and decluttering the hierarchy would be to create a grouping object and parent the base figure and all its conformed clothing figures to that. This leaves the clothing unparented to the conformer, but lets you minimise the grouping object hierarchy to hide all those associated figures.

@mmitchell_houston either Notepad++ on windows or BBEdit on macos are good text editors for Poser files. They both automatically and transparently uncompress the compressed versions of Poser files, too.

Thanks. I downloaded Notepad++ and used it to edit the pose files. Worked like a charm.
