Auto Fit

I think it would be great if Auto fit was truly automatic. Wouldn't it be great if when you load a wearables preset that contains multiple clothing items you didn't have to tell it which figure for every single item as they load? I mean it detects that it's not the same generation as the figure. Why can't it just go one step further and detect which generation it is and then do it's thing without having to have a human tell it for every single piece of clothing.

I agree that it would be nice to have the clothing generation auto selected, however it would be very difficult to auto select the best template when doing the autofitting.
Each generation comes with a certain number of clothing templates, but it is possible to buy different/better ones and for you to create your own. How, then, would DS know to use the SickleYield short dress templete instead of your own custom one, or the long dress template? I don't think it could, and I'm not sure it'd be possible for DS to try each one & decide which is 'best' - mostly because defining 'best' is well nigh impossible because 'best' can be different in different cases.
Sorry not to be more helpful.

Well I've been using Daz since Victoria 5 was the current generation and I've never heard of these clothing templates. I've never seen anything in the auto fit dialog about these templates. There's 2 things to choose in the auto fit dialog, which generation and what type of clothing, I never tell it which type of clothing, and it works just fine. Are you suggesting auto fit can't be updated and improved because of these templates? That's absurd if you ask me.
The second selection in autofit dialog is not which part of the body it's for, it is where you select the template to use to rig the converted item.
If you don't select anything it will use the full body template by default I think, but depending on what type of item you're fitting it might not be ideal, for example there are templates for dresses or tunics with specific rigging for the "skirt" part which work much better than the default one.
Updating autofit to use the default template all the time would definitely not be an improvement in my book.
^What Leana said.
Things like skirts & dresses need a bit of rigging input so the left & right legs have a graduated fall-off on their effect on the skirt, while a trouser leg needs to be only affected by the leg it's around, otherwise it looks odd. This is all done with the help of the clothing template, which is the second drop down combo box in the autofit dialogue, as shown below extracted from one of SY's autofit V4 clones for G8 promo images.
These are the bits whose selection is hard to automate.

In the first item of the Auto-Fit dialog, "What figure was the item originally designed for?", what we select is, strictly speaking, not a figure but a clone.
For example, I have two types of Genesis 9 clones designed for Genesis 8 Male. Similarly, I have two types each of V4, M4, V3, M3, A3, and H3 clones designed for Genesis 8 Male.
When using Auto-Fit to apply Genesis 9 clothing to a Genesis 8 Male, even if the Auto-Fit tool can automatically detect that the clothing was designed for Genesis 9, I must ultimately decide which clone to use.
If this decision could be automated, it would likely be limited to narrowing down the clone options.
