This issue with the whole mess was that my pack failed (I didn't realize I had included Scales, I think I was just so frustrated at that point I wasn't paying attention) but according to the in house testers is that if the figure is placed in a scene and the pose is applied and translations are checked off it will not sink or dip into the scene so that's honored but it will be returned to the center of the scene pissing off the end user. 

In DAZ Studio there are allot of options when saving out poses, it can be a bit overwhelming to newbies, been there, but once you understand it all these save-outs works exactly as you expect.  Move your figure where you want, apply the pose and then apply another pose and another pose and they figure stays where it's supposed to stay and the hip translations will have it where you intended it to be and will not be whisked back to the center of the scene. 

In Poser it's not wonder there are no mixed pose packs like I usually do.  They are usually all on the ground or standing or flying because that's going to pass testing without any red flags but when you offer a mixed pose pack and have the limitations to how things are saved out, esp in the hip translations, the figure either ends up dipping or too high in the scene when translations are not checked off but those hip translations will be honored if it is checked off when saving out BUT will end up centered in the scene, frustrating the end user!
