If you're working with an armature in Blender, you might want to use the "Symmetrize" function to make it easier to work with. This function will create a copy of your armature that is symmetrical to the original, which can be helpful when you're trying to create animations or poses.

To use the Symmetrize function, select your armature in Blender and go to the "Modifiers" tab. Then, click on the "Add Modifier" button and select "Symmetrize" from the list.

In the "Symmetrize" settings, you can choose which axis you want to be symmetrical. You can also choose whether you want the function to create a new armature or mirror the existing one.

Once you've applied the Symmetrize function, you'll see that your armature is now symmetrical. You can now use the Mirror function to create a second armature that is identical to the first one.
