Need help with Pinning

I am trying to anchor the feet down so I can shift the hips over, as the background picture shows.

I do not see the Pinning option after clicking the bone with arrow icon.

    Welcome the Daz forums, @uwantmeok. Here is a link to a video tutorial that may help.

    That is the tutorial that I am trying to follow. Ok, they changed where the pin toggle is. It's now an image of a pin with the daz 4.10. Do you know how to change the shortcuts? F3 on windows changes the brightness on my windows laptop

    Still struggling with the pinning.  I found the pinning in the user guide, where it shows the pin icon at the top left.  This however is not pinning the foot down, and when I grab the hips, I cannot shift the weight on one foot as the background shows.

    That shows the Universal Tool in use, not the Active Pose tool - they both offer pinning but take diffrent approaches to the way it works.

    The hip appears to be locked in place regardless which tool is selected.  I have tried both.

    had some luck with toggling IK.

    Leave ik on. Grab the pelvis not the hip. Make sure you are using the active pose pins/tool (not the universal tool) and have the tool setting panel open or easily available (docked to your ui is ideal), pin the feet by selecting one of them and then clicking the 'toggle pin' button in the tool settings panel, repeat for the other foot, maybe switch the pinning to 'pin at both' for greater pin rigidity (can also dial up the rigity slider, or both, but too much rigidity can work against you), then grab the pelvis and pull it where you want it.

    Active pose pins can also be used to make otherwise awkward to pose things fairly simple, for ex a rope or chain. Stick an active pose pin in one end or the middle or whatever really and dragging the rest into position becomes much easier.

    Look for an "FN" button on your keyboard. That will toggle the function keys between Windows/PC functions and regular f-key operation (similar to what Num Lock does for the numeric keypad).
