  Hi kitakoredazu :)
  
  Firstly, A sword, or any other hand held weapon, is normally simply a Prop, and not a Figure.
  
  The definition of a "Prop" is, an object which does not have "Bones"
  
  When you add Bones to an object,. it becomes a "Figure"
  
  In Daz Studio,. Poser, or Carrara,.
  If you have the main figure selected,.. then you double click to load another figure, it should auto "Fit to" the first figure.
  
  For example:
  If you have Genesis selected in your scene,. then you load a clothing figure, (like a shirt, pants, or dress), then it will automatically "Fit to" the selected genesis figure.
  
  Using a "Prop" sword,.. it could be placed in either hand, and Parented to that hand to follow the movements of the figure.
  It can also be placed anywhere else the scene. this makes it more useful as a Prop.
  
  By making the sword into a conforming figure,. the sword is fixed in position, in only one hand.
  it cannot be easily swapped to the other hand,. and it's movements may also be restricted by the joint rotation limits of the bones.
  
  Hope it helps :)

  Auto-magnetise is not connected with fitting items to a figure. Some figures, notably Victoria 4, use magnets attached to the figure to adjust it as it is posed and those magnets also need to affect the clothes if poke-through (body parts sticking through the clothes) is to be avoided. Auto-magnetise automatically applies any magnets that are affecting a figure to other figures that are fitted to that figure.

  Auto-fitting seems to depend on having meta-data for the item. However, if, instead of double-clicking on it in the Content Library, you drag it out of the Content Library and drop it on the figure it will usually fit to the figure.

  thanks advices, so I reformed V4 sword (figure =Because the product had bones yet, actually) to sword figure,, maybe,,

  then

  @3DAGE ( so thanks for your many advices on another topics, I could study manythings by them)

  If you have the main figure selected,.. then you double click to load another figure, it should auto “Fit to” the first figure.

  For example:
  If you have Genesis selected in your scene,. then you load a clothing figure, (like a shirt, pants, or dress), then it will automatically “Fit to” the selected genesis figure.

  Yeah, I think so, but My sword (it has bones and I can fit it to genesis, and it move with genesis and change shapes automatically
  by genesis morph) does not fit genesis. of course I select genesis and load the figure(sword)
  check my picture please,,（but I can the sword fit to genesis by change propeties (not move it manually))

  @Richard Haseltine
  wao,,, I mistook about Auto-magnetise ,,, I thought it means" fit to" automatically.
  about magnets (D-forms?) ,,

  Auto-fitting seems to depend on having meta-data for the item

  yeah,, I think so, and I set meta-data every items and set them my products, (just only categorize and search it in smart contents)
  and I set it compatibility with "genesis",

  then, I think if my mistake is I setted category "prop" "weapon"? so it did not fit automatically?
  so, how I categorize it? weapon is in prop category, is not it? anyway I try categorize it other category.

  now I tryed drug loading from contents library, yes, the sword "fit to" genesis, thanks richard.

  then, I try categorize it again on another category (,,,accessory,,) in meta-data ,
  no, it can not auto fit genesis.

  so I check again,,

  Yeahhhh,,,, richard is right always,,

  I got it,, I need change "Type" of meta-data,, not category,, thanks !!
  If weapons have bones , I should set the type as accessory, then it auto-fit genesis.

  ;-)

  HI
  
  

  weapon is in prop category, is not it?

  
  
  Not if it has Bones,.. it's not a Prop,.. it's a Figure.
  
  Figures have Bones.
  Props have no bones.
  
  One other thing,...
  In you pic, you have written V4,
  Are the bones you used to make the sword from V4 ? ...or from genesis?

  @3dage

  Yeah, I think so, but when categorize it, I thought just category, so it is better to call "prop - weapon."
  for search it from smart contents.

  CMS and meta-data do not forgive my mistake never :coolcheese:

  
  and, I felt it is difficult to ask the question.

  because the product (phantasie for V4) is so meticulous that the sword has bones (and move preset to turn 180degree)
  I have never seen such weapon, in another products, and if I ask it many men will think "that is a prop, he made mistake hehe,,"

  Are the bones you used to make the sword from V4 ? ...or from genesis?

  and the picture is to tell the products had bones already.

  I used transfer utiltity ,then copy bones from genesis to the sword.
  then remove some bones , adjust bone sizes. and weight mapped for original pose preset (yes it moves bone) with products.
  (if I click it, turend weapon 180 , cool !!)
