Symmetry in Weight Mapping

OrionPax09

Okay. Here's the thing. I start off the weight mapping of my clothes by using the Transfer Utility. It's pretty common sense as it is a massive timesaver, and sometimes the Transfer Utility is all you need.

In other situations, however, I've found that I have to do some touchup afterwards. And that's where I've run into trouble in terms of symmetry.

Now I am aware that there is a symmetry option in the Node Weight Map Brush, and I turned it on while attempted to correct the weight maps. However, I've run into a problem. When I was trying to correct the weight map on the right thigh of an article of clothing, those corrections didn't appear on the left thigh. Now symmetry was on, and I've tested the various axises. Nothing. So how exactly do I get symmetry on opposite bones on a piece of clothing?

Was the clothing itself symmetrical?

Yes, it's symmetrical.
