saving expressions from the CaymanStudios expression randomizer, how?

I have googled this and tried various suggestions, but can't get an expression created with the Expression Randomizer to save. I know bones are used with gen 3 and gen 8 and as such it's an actual pose, but when I save a pose with just the actual face rig parameters, it doesn't work. Any ideas on this?

    It seems to be something which can't be saved as a preset.

    Maybe it requires something more complex to do, a kind of morph or something else.

    Thanks for the reply. If it can't be saved as a preset for later use, it is pretty much useless to me.

    I had the same problem a while back. Cayman, the author, provided a solution which worked for me:

    Michael, the nodes you need to save are the Upper Face Rig, the Lower Face Rig and the Lower Jaw.  They are the bones that are randomised in the scripts.  There is also the issue of whether you have the limits on or off (Edit > Figure > Limits), as addressed in the thread Toonces linked to.  I think if you keep the limits on when you save and then when you apply the saved preset, the expression should be as you saved it.  If you are prompted, keep the limits on.

    Thanks all and thanks Cayman Studios for the reply. I'll keep playing with it as i am sure those are the boxes I am checking, but I will try the limits option since i am now getting an expression to work, but not the exact one I intended to save.
