in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I mostly user Poser. However I want to start using Daz Studio as well. How do I go about using DIM to install my DAZ products for both Studio and Poser? Also, I have installed Studio and Poser on a second hard drive, F, how will that affect installation if at all?

    Content doesn't go into the application folder so no, the DS and Poser locations won't matter. As for using content with both, install to a content directory of your choice (in DIM click the gear icon at top-right, then in the Installation tab click + to add a new directory if you don't want to use the defaults) and make sure that it is selected as a Poser and a DAZ Studio Format content directory in DS (right-click on the ... Formats header in the Content Library and from the menu select Add New Base Directory/Add New Runtime Directory) and as an external library folder in Poser (click the folder with a + icon in the Poser library panel).

    Ahhh, ok, now I see why I wasn't seeing it in Studio. Heh I ended up uninstalling all of it and starting over. When I created the new folders for the content for Poser, the way I had it setup I had to add each  folder seperate because I  had it setup as say, Poser Conten, then V4, G1, G2, then the runtimes in those folders, if that makes sense. So I can created 1 Folder DAZ-Poser Content, then put a Runtime folder in there, and install everything to the DAZ-Poser folder, then Add the Directories to Studio and Poser. LOL. Well at least I think I understand it. Thank you very much for the response. Wow, I need to stop taking breaks from my graphics!

    You can have more than one content directory in DS too, so if you want to split by figure do so - just be careful that you don't end up with both Poser Content and the Poser Content\V4 etc. folders selected as content directories.
