Approximate with a tape measure (I always measured center of bottom bracket along the seat tube to the center of the saddle, although I'll switch to rpenmanparker's more accurate bb to bb measurement) and fine tune position and tilt until it feels the same.
Saddle curves and not sitting in exactly the same spot on different ones preclude an exact solution.
I _hate_ changing saddles and seatposts.
