Trying to make sense of posing in Daz Studio 4 Pro

I want to create a scene of 4 characters eating at the 50’s Dinner Table but I’m having trouble posing the character in a seated position because I was unable to match one side of a character to the other side. I know that Poser 7 has Symmetry that can mirror one side to the other side I can’t find anything similar in Daz Studio 4 Pro.

Is there a trick or a setting that I’m not seeing, because I’m still a newbie to Daz Studio?

Thanks,

    Here is some settings that might help though you will need to change the Direction to right to left or left to right as opposed to Swap as my image shows. All the other settings should work.

    Except for Symmetry, I always thought posing was easier in DS than in Poser...

    That said, the Symmetry thing COULD be better done... I wonder if we could convince one of our resident scripting gurus to come up with something that's a little easier to work with...

    What are you wanting to be different?

    I'd love a quick way to swap right and left and copy right to left and left to right... just a button that would do that would be really nice...

    A simple button wouldn't have any options. Some things cannot or should not be made automagical. Tech tip, un-check the Scale and Translation boxes.

    I didn't say they should be... I'm just saying that it would be nice to have some way of creating a preset for a function that is used quite a bit... Swapping left and right, for instance, is used a LOT by me, and it's a bit tedious to go through that dialog every single time I want to do it...

    A script could be written with just Swap Left Right as options. That could then be added to your toolbar. You'll need to find the Script writer because that ones a bit out of my level of knowledge at this time.
