human IK can't mirror left to right

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I got a problem that couldn't be solved for long time.

I am using Maya 2014

The human IK mirror left to right works sometimes but it is always doesn't work

After I create a new skeleton, I only use the move tool to move the left side joint and I click the mirror left to right,

There is no change but it automatically select the (Character1_Head) joint.

Sometimes,I repeat click, it suddenly works again, But next time I create a new skeleton, it doesnt work again.

I asked my teacher but he couldn't solve this problem. 

Is there anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks a lot!

As usual Autodesk just leave you hanging when there is no solution. Years later this same issue keeps cropping up.

Any admins, moderators care to weigh in and perhaps provide an excuse as to why this issue is still persisting in Maya five years later?

I haven’t spent much time on it, but the Mirror Left->Right icon on the Skeleton tab is quite similar to the Mirror Matching icon on the definitions tab.

Students may become confused.
