For me it looks like this:
Height of V3 in Poser 7:         1929.7520838843mm
Height of V3 in CATIA V5R17: 1795.121mm

Height of V4 in Poser 7:         1923.4654936285mm
Height of V4 in CATIA V5R17: 1789.273mm

The values for height are the same as used in CAM  for programming the machines with CATIA.
It uses SI standards and Poser 7 use something else.
1m as defined by SI is 1.0749983337525826834968405798971m in Poser 7.
Or 1m in Poser is 0.930234m SI.

There is no inch, feet, link, furlong, fathom, whatever.

But for those that use these units:
V3's height in Poser 7 is: 6 ft 3.97449149150 in (periodic -> 787401574803149606299212598425196850393700)
V3's height in CATIA is: 5 ft 10.674 in

V4's height in Poser 7 is: 6 ft 3.7269879381 in
V4's height in CATIA is: 5 ft 10.443 in (periodic -> 818897637795275590551181102362204724409448)

If you want a figure that is [n] mm high you simply apply this scaling to it.
However, Poser does not really care about anything smaller then 0.001 in whatever scaling you'd chose.
