OT but I think I figured out your suffix strangeness pete. Create an object named "object_1", import it into Poser. Import a second copy of that object (or, object: duplicate) and the second copy will be named "object_2". Now, create an object named "object 1" and repeat the above process. You'll find the second copy as "object 2". Apparently Poser duplicates naming inherit spacing conventions.

A couple of other facts that might be of interest to pete, just for conversations sake... Apply a morph of your object scaled to 1000% to your original object. Create your morphs on the 1000 scaled morph target object and apply those as morph target. Dial the morph to 1.00, dial the scale 1000 morph to -1.00. The results will look a mess, ignore that. Export this combined morph and reapply as morph target. Dial to value 0.100, now you have your original mesh with morph applied, no translation errors. All non morphed vert positions at default zero. If you export this result and reapply the default full value will be 1.00.

Traditionally, morphing scales operate outside of origin influence. It's different now with animated joint centers, but in general practice.

Say you have 2 identical objects in your scene. Same position. Both with different origins. Scaling of course will be different for both objects as scaling is dependant on origin. If however you parent one of these objects to the other, the child will inherit the scaling (that is they will scale identical) of the parent regardless of the childs origin. Consider how this might be useful from a morphing perspective (at least I've found it so). Just a couple of little bits of esoterica that I picked up while messing about with legacy style JCMs. I think that recent versions of Poser adding animated joint centers and smooth translations are significant additions. You wouldn't be able to tell that this is the case in most forum discussions though... I doubt most are even aware of the uses for such features.
