I have dozens of character morphs created with Sasha 16. Is there any easy way to convert them to the 2019 edition?

Are they dial spun made or custom morphed. Are they saved as FBM(Full Body Morphs) ? Depending on what they are will vary how easy they are to transfer. If they are dial spun you should be able to save the pose and just reapply that to the new sasha, if they are custom morphs, and you have an FBM they may transfer using the Copy Morphs From .. In the figure menu.

I'd love to know how to make an "injection CR2"! While I was helping with beta testing, I kept updating my characters to the newest version, and it's not that bad to do it manually. But setting up a way to do it via a library file seems more efficient.

The way I do it manually is:

1) load the current character and
(a) save her Morph Channels to the Pose library. I also take note of which morph packages I used to create the character (which I record in a notebook app).
(b) save her material set to the Materials library
2) load the S-16 "starter" I previously set up with the newer version (which will only have the bare minimum of morph packages that I know I want on all female character), and inject whatever morph packages the character needs
3) apply the Morph Channels pose file and Materials set files I saved in step 1
4) re-parent any jewelry or hair from the beta figure to the newer figure
5) save the newer figure to the Character library (with a version indicator in the file name)

Because I don't always trust that Poser's Pose library has saved the info I need, I often record a character's morph settings by hand, which is a pain. There's also the issue that a beta 2-16 character might have S-16-specific dial data saved under a different name. So I'm hoping an "injection CR2" might help to make it more transparent what's going on in the process!

I second this request for a tutorial on creating an "injection CR2". Also, thanks for the tip on saving the material set to the materials library.

If you're interested in making characters injection cr2 files, just ask!

I do have PFE, so a tutorial using it for this would be most welcome!

Poser 11 Pro

Most morphs started as purchased custom V4 morphs, then spun-dial altered either a little or a lot, particularly with CDI. Materials may have been supplied with the character, but also often altered, or may have been adapted from another character.

I have about 80 characters built that way (so far). The number of custom morphs is less than 10, but each alteration is different.

I've read the CR2 info, thanks. What I've done for a few characters so far without problems (poser 11) that would appear to be easier:
Load old character.
Save to pose library, check the boxes Morph Channels and Body transformation, then Single Frame.
Save to materials library
Load a copy of Sasha (2019) that has all of the morph injections I'm likely to use (note that this makes a "heavy" character, but I'm blessed with a fast machine that has no problems with them).
Inject the pose
Inject the materials
Move hair and any clothing/props from the old character to the new.
Delete old character
Save the new character.

Question: Are there likely to be some characters that won't work with this relatively simple method?

I've been happy so far, but the sample size is small. I wasn't sure if perhaps it might work in Poser 11 but not in Poser 9, for example.

The method I use for transferring characters is pretty much the same as what Jim described, and it's relatively easy to do. So if setting up an "injection CR2" wouldn't simplify the process at all, then you definitely don't need to put your time into making one!

However, I would like to know how to set up a CR2 so that it's "ready" to receive a full INJ from a morph package that has lots of parts. You did that for most of the V4 morph packages people are likely to have, but not for one I use regularly, which is CDI Faerime. Unlike the CDI Morphia package, Faerime has only head morphs, and I like it b/c it dramatically widens my options for shaping characters' faces.

But when I inject the full CDI Faerime package into my S-16 starter, all the head morphs show up under the Morph group on the Head parameter panel, in no particular order. By comparison, when I load the package into a standard V4, the dials come in neatly organized into separate groups, all under a main group.

So basically I'd like to know how to "prepare" a S-16 CR2 to "receive" these Faerime dials in their intended groups, the way you did with other morph packages. I don't mind doing it myself; I just need some tips on what, exactly, to do!
