copy/paste and re-scale all selected rigging

Once you have a decent rig on one character, the task of doing this again on a similarly constructed character is super cumbersome.

It would be hugely helpful if you could select groups of pins and sticks and manipulate them as a group (mirror, scale, rotate, free-distort)

You can copy/paste, but you have to select pins and sticks one by one. NEED marquee selection of pins/sticks.

Then with groups of pins/sticks selected, you should be able to mirror/scale/stretch/rotate/free-distort the locations of these pins/sticks.

I think this would massively accelerate the adaptation of a rig from one character to another.

you can't even rotate or stretch a stick... to fix a broken stick you have to re-draw it?
