That was my thinking as well when making my pose pack for LaFemme 2 but you can look in my freebie area because it was failed and I gave it all away.  Why, because of that very issue.  Clicking on a pose, any pose, back to back should place the figure's hip in the correct translation without moving it back to the center of the scene but that's what happens when the Translation box is checked when saving out the new pose.  Without checking off that box when saving the figure's hip will translate properly and stay where you put it but upon clicking another pose if the figure was meant to float (superhero stuff) or kneel then they will either be too high or too low in the scene because there was no instruction written to place it where it should be.  In DAZ Studio, when saving out a pose there are allot of areas, sure, every figure has them but there are controls that you click.  Like for the rotations, there is a script that's run to only check the rotations but then you go in to the hip, expand that and you can find all the translations to check to keep the figure from being recentered in the scene while honoring the Y either + or - with no issue.  Poser dearly needs that sort of minute control to have a proper mixed pose pack, which is what I like making.  If I had a "flight" pack it wouldn't matter or a kneeling pack, same, no issue but when your offering a mixed pack you get messed up because if these controls are there but hidden or no controls written into the code then your fooked.  So hours and hours of my time spent on LaFemme 2's mixed pose pack had to be given away for free because I didn't have the proper controls.  With figures like Dawn and Dusk from Hivewire, I could make the pose pack in DAZ Studio with all those extra controls and then save them out to PZ2 files from there and have everything work as needed.  Can't do that with LH or LF because they are Poser native only!
