i have tried thru the file menu but all the dialed settings i made ot the mesh or any customization goes down the tube when i import...the only way i keep my settings if i i import as an obj....

how do you keep your mesh as is from poser to carrara?

PZ3 files need a plugin to import called Transposer. But you can recreate your scenes loading everything from the Browser like you do in Poser.

Carrara 7 opens Pz3 files. Carrara 6 has some issues associated with it. Which version are you using?

version 7

Hmmm...characters with poses transfer just fine but I'm not sure about the custom dialed morphs.

Are the dial settings there in Carrara or are they set to 0?
If it's the former, then do you save with external binary morphs enabled in Poser? Switch that off and try again.

can you provide pics of what you mean?

I save as normal and have never seen this before...

the dial settings are not in Carrara so i must be doing something wrong...wish there was some kind of tut on how to import properly in carrara.

thanks for the help

On the import options pop-up window, make sure that "import morph targets" is checked. That would be the most obvious culprit, though there could be others.
