Do you mean the "Poser Native Units" thing? If so I agree wholeheartedly.

In 1995 the original 'poser figure' was a desktop artist's mannequin so maybe the stupid scale had a reason, but almost all poser content since then has been real world life-size objects, and still we cling to the stupid scale. Add to this the fact that poser relies on .obj file format which contains no unit information, and poser's idiotic import scale option (the only option) "should this object arrive bigger than a person or smaller than a person?" - in a "Pro" application which claims to pipeline well with the big boys? Are you kidding me?

At the very least Poser should have scale options on import/export so that we can scale models to/from the real world units that most other applications use internally (like metres for modo, inches for sketchup and so on. This could be a list of units like sketchup does it or a list of applications like DAZ does it (so you don't have to know what the internal units of the target app are).
