I was wondering if there is such a tool in C4 Pro. A tool where you can create bones for one side (say R arm and R Leg) and copy and flip to the left side (symmetrically). Thanks

Duplicate with symmetry is an edit menu choice. after you choose it you will get a dialog window to describe which axis you wish to duplicate around, and if there's an offset. Works great, and is a HUGE timesaver with limbs.

A point to make when Duping w/Symmetry... DO NOT have a constraint set for the parent bone of the sequence you are duping. This just rotates the sequence to the limits of the constraints. EX: If you are copying the arm, and the shoulder is the parent bone, then remove the constraint from the shoulder bone and dupe w/symmetry. Found this out the hard way. Ken
