How to make mirror poses in Poser

On the previous tutorial I showed you how to make mirror poses in Daz Studio. Now I'm gonna show you how I do them in Poser and, for me, it works great.
I tried to do this straight in Poser as I did in Daz Studio by clicking on Figure > Symmetry > Swap Right and Left.

Mirrored pose in Poser

Poser does the symmetry pretty well, but when I change the X Translate of the Hip from negative to positive to make Dawn grab the pole, as I did in Daz Studio, she doesn't grab it yet and you would  have to move her on the right position by hand. And not only on X axis but either on Z axis.

Mirrored pose in Poser

So I figured out a solution for this. A plugin for Daz Studio which exports poser formats, Poser Format Exporter (PFE). Now all I have to do is exporting my mirrored poses from Daz to Poser! :D
Here's the settings:

Daz3D PFE plugin

 In the menu you click on Path... to choose the directory in Poser you want to save the pose. In File Name fill with the name of your pose, I put Pole Dance 19_M (M for mirror) and chose the .pz2 format. You can also choose .fc2 for face and .hd2 for hand.
And set the rest as showed in the image.
Here's the result in Poser!

Mirrored Pose From Daz Studio to Poser

Maybe there's a script for Poser to do this well or another method that I don't know, but for me this way works very nice and the PFE I got for free on Daz3D a few years ago. If you know a better way to do the symmetry, please comment! I'll be grateful.
