			Important:

			In order to truly retain the new ragdoll positions, be sure to load the new *.map into DR so you can continue your work with the ragdolls in their new positions. If you just continue on with your DR session, the next time you save your map file, it will revert the ragdoll positions to the ones they had before you manually adjusted them in-game.
