Copy and paste a pose?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Is it possible to copy (not save) and paste/apply a pose? For instance copying the arm pose of a character and paste it to another (in the same scene)?

    Yes, There are Copy and Paste sub-menus in the Edit menu (I don't, however, think there's a way to copy from a bone and its children and/or paste to a bone and its children - it's the whole figure or the selected nodes only, so in your example you would need to select all of the arm bones.

    Thanks Richard.

    After selecting a bone, is it in the Parameter tab or in the Posing tab that I should make a copy?

    Also, there are two sub-options: Copy Figure & Copy Selected Item(s)...

    I've tried to use them but without success...

    You could copy from either, but you would want to paste to selected items since you want to affect only a part of the figure. The Copy command is in the Parameters pane option menu, and I assume the Posing though I always close that, or in the main Edit menu.

    Sir, I just wanted to say "Thank you." Time and time again, I run a Google search for an answer to a question I have and, more often than not, you are in the thread and answering it.

    I don't know if you get thanked enough, but I just had to say it myself. yes So, thanks!

    I have tried using this but going to paste pose options are greyed out, why are these locked even after changing much of the positions from the last package pose used?

    What was selected when you copied, and what tool was active? Which copy command ddi you use? Are any of the Paste options live?

    Save As -> Pose Preset

    Select another figure and manually double-click file.

    Select the figure to recieve the pose

    Edit -> Paste -> Paste Figure Pose
