Subject: Parenting a figure to another figure part question.
Ok, here's what you do but I've only tried this with hair. I bring in the hair .cr2 and instead of conforming I go to the Figure menu/Set figure parent and choose the head of my character. Once it's parented I save it in the library with a different name so as not to overwrite the original.
Then navigate to the folder where you saved it and change the .cr2 to .pp2. Open it up in a text editor and find the 2nd instance of actor BODY. Below that you will see many entries. If you compare the .cr2 and .pp2 you'll see the .cr2 has "parent UNIVERSE" whereas in the one you saved and changed to a .pp2 it has "parent head:1" change this to "smartparent head:1. Resave and open your .pp2 in Poser. The .cr2 will come in and be parented now - no need to conform.
Hope this helps!

Kalypso! Genious, that did the trick. I made a copy of the .cr2 and reworded 'parent Universe' with 'smartparent sled:1' (sled is the part of the base figure I wanted it parented to). When I brought the modified part back into the scene, it snapped into correct position. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I know how to parent an articulated figure to another part of a different figure. I would like to save that parented figure back to the library by itself, but next time I load it from the library, I'd like it to parent automatically to the other figure body part and position itself in the right place. Think of it as a smart prop that parents and self positions, but it's not a prop, it's a figure. Is this possible, can a .CR2 file be hacked to do that? This is a feature that I would like to see poser be able to do.
