Current DAZ version open pz2 files?

I know there has been some old discussion on this, but I was wondering if the current iterations of DAZ will open pz2v pose files... not mat files, but character poses and pose presets. I just didn't want to invest in any legacy/Poser poses or presets if there're not going to work.

Thank you!

    They will work but only up to Genesis 2 with the skanky upturned  foot for Genesis 1 & 2 and of course on all the legacy figures Vicky, Michael1,2,3&4 etc

    you can saved fixed ones on genesis 1 as duf poses and load them on genesis 3 too for some reason this works but not pz2 or poses saved on Genesis 2

    Thank you. To be more specific, I was wanting to use pose presets for V4/M4, but from what you;re saying, DAZ will open/load the files from the content menu (thumbnails) without fiddling or importing?

    Yes should

    Remember that poses for one figure will not necessarily work well on another figure, even if the file loads. Bone names change, or bones are added or removed. Also the pose stores rotation away from the base position - the more different the base position (e.g. Genesis 8's arms comaped to the older T posed figures) the less well the pose will work.

    Perhaps I wasn't clear. All I'm asking is whether poses and pose sets for V4/M4 in .pz2 format will load in the current version of DAZ Studio so that I can use them on V4/M4 as intended.
