Is there a way to make the default on on the poses instead of having to switch them on every action,as I tend to forget

Just set them to 'on' (or a percentage) in the model's properties... that is, in the PWS highlight the mode the go it the model properties either by opening the properties window or, by clicking on the down arrow on the model's name. Then go to the model's poses under 'user properties' and set the default pose values.

Hope this helps!
