Until I tried to position the Dolly Camera to get exactly the same view as one of the orbiting cameras...
Starting with a zeroed orbiting camera (Main or Aux, with DollyX/Y/Z and OrbitX/Y/Z all zero) the camera position appears to be about 1.2 Poser units along the positive Z-axis, i.e. at (0,0,1.2), pointing at the origin. The actual distance is not documented anywhere as far as I can tell.
The camera seems to orbit around the origin in a logical manner - e.g. a YOrbit rotation of +90 puts the orbitingcamera at about 1.2 Poser units along the positive X-axis, i.e. at (1.2,0,0).
When I adjust the DollyX/Y/Z position of the orbiting camera it initially looks sensible...
(an the attached screenshot the point of the red ballcone indicates the origin and the point of the green ballcone indicates the MainCam dolly coordinates)
The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
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.
