Be careful when scaling. If you've modified the objects origin. Import/export doesn't acknowledge this, you'll find your object scaling into a different position than your edited workspace version.

From my observations it seems that when you import an OBJ into Poser the object's origin is set to be the average of all the vertices (i.e Xorigin = (X1+X2+X3+...+Xn)/n, etc). Logical, but hardly ever what I want, so when I save an imported OBJ as a PP2 my next step is always to edit the PP2 and set the origin to 0,0,0 (and the X/Y/ZoffsetA/B values to zero. I recently discovered that the Joint Editor works for setting the origin of a prop - simply set the Center values (the green cross) to 0,0,0 before saving as a PP2. I haven't really checked that though (it really was a recent discovery!)

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
