I think I got around it - sort of -, but it took some doing.

(And for the record, I'm using PoserPro 2010)

If anyone wants to do this as well... Here is what I did.

First of all I created a new Aux Cam.

Went and changed the settings to the way I liked it, renamed the camera.

Did the same with the next one.

Then I switched to my new main camera, set Preferred State to it -- and the cameras now load on the new document.

That's a very old trick and it still works -- but only if you don't mess with "Perspective" of the camera, because it will not save the scale. (Focal doesn't use the scale and it makes a difference whether you change focal or perspective.)

------- In case anyone wonders: If you change the perspective dial, it changes the scale of the camera. Which means if you save it, and load it, the scale doesn't load with it (it's calculated when you change it, I think) and your camera is in the wrong position. (i.e. you get a great view of the feet, instead of the whole body, because the scale changed instead of the distance.)
Since Focal doesn't make the camera bigger/smaller, but changes position instead, you don't have that problem when you load it.

Nifty trick Les :) I'll have to try that.
