Just a quickie question. How can I change the default figure at start up from the casual male figure to say the P4 nude woman (or any other character)? Thanks Lester

In the pulldown Edit/General Preferences set your "Preferred State" & "Use Previous State".

Incidently, you don't need any figure, mine starts empty, as I never know what I'm going to do. ;-) I always thought the mark of a "professional" program, like Pagemaker, Quark or Photoshop was that it started with a blank screen, unlike MS Word, for example, that starts with an document open. Just delete the original figure and do what Nance said.

I agree about starting with a blank Poser document. I just wish there was a way to get rid of the cursed figure circle that totally distracts from things. As for MS Word, I always click on the MS Word icon, and guess what? It opens as a blank document. If you click on an icon for a document, then it opens a document, grin.

In your Poser|Runtime|Figures folder there is a file called default.figure. Open this with Notepad, or another text editor, and change the default figure there. readScript ":Runtime:libraries:character:Poser 2 Lo:Default Guy.cr2" Change that line to reflect the character you want to start with. Easy-peasy :)
