Sometimes I save a scene but when I load it later the stuff in it is moved?

As the topic says - sometimes I save a scene but when I load it later the stuff in it is moved or scaled? For now I experiened it with figures and attached grafs (genitals), do't know if it will happen with clothes and props.

I 'don't remember this to happen with 4.10.

Did you, by chance, save an animation (using dForce), and when you re-load it, it returns to frame 0?

No, no - just simple scenes.

I literally just had something like this happen to me. Things were moved, rotated, etc. In my case, I was working on the scene and saved it just before making some experimental changes. When I didn't like the changes, I reloaded the scene. (Something I've done hundreds of times.) I had been working on the scene all day, with DS open for hours.

The scene file was not corrupted, though. I was able to reload it without issue after restarting Daz Studio.

@handel_035c4ce6, was your experience like mine, that you loaded a scene after using DS for a lengthy time? Or does this happen with the first scene you load after opening Daz Studio?

I always create a camera. I will use this to set up my scene and then use perspective for looking around my scene. Save with your camera selected. You can also save the camera to apply it later if you accidently move the scene camera.

I worked a lot the last days so it was probably after a long time working already.

I usually create a camera using the viewpoint when I find one I like, then lock the movement controls before saving the scene.
That way I can't inadvertently move it.
Do you know of a way to change the defaults so that the camera always loads to the viewpoint and locked? That would really
speed up my workflow!

Locked or not, if you save the file while looking at the Viewport through your camera, the scene should load again the same way. That has been my experience, at least.
