Possible? Set keyframes across a range of keys

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

What I'd like to do sometimes is sort of freeze a range of frames in place simultaneously. Instead of manually setting keys frame by frame.

Is this possible in DAZ Studio?

    I'm not clear as to what you are asking? Multiple nodes at one time, or a single node at multiple times?

    Sorry, what I meant to say was one node, such as the transform node of a Genesis figure, at multiple times. 

    Like, let's say I have xTranslate keyed on frame 0, frame 10, frame 20, frame 30. 

    Is there a way I can just set keyframes from 1 to 29 all in one single operation?

    So you want to bake the interpolated values to fixed keys? I don't think there's a way to do it diectly, if you have the full AniMate 2 you might be able to do it by turning the aniamtions into an AniBlock, then baking it back to key frames.

    I do have AniMate 2, I'll look into that.

    I tried it out and decided it's simpler to just add frames one at a time.

    Related to this I have a hotkey question, is there a way to customize daz studio so that I can press the keyboard and the timeline advances one frame?

    Window>Workspace>Customise has a list of actions down the left, to which you can assign keyboard short cuts by right-click menu. The Animation group looks to include the commands you want.
