How to use Mirror in Morp Loader?

I have JCM for left thigh.
I want to mirror it to the right thigh.
But I don't understand the options, swap, swap x, swap y, etc.

Mirroring options are built on the symmetry of an object, three options for each axis: 1 Swap + 2 ways replication. Swap just means exchange: L > R and R > L.
Although human being's body is not 100% symmetrical in the real world, Genesis figure in Daz is symmetrical on midsagittal plane, i.e. X axis. So if you wanna use Mirroring function on Genesis (as well as Vx), you can only use the options of 'X axis'.
As for your case, let's take G9 'Thighs Side-Side' as an example, after you fixed and updated the cbs 'body_cbs_thigh_z90p_l' on Left Thigh, you wanna use the fixed morph to update 'body_cbs_thigh_z90n_r' on Right Thigh, two ways as below:
- Use replicate: keep G9's current pose (Left Thigh Side-Side 90), dial Right Thigh Side-Side to -90, import the fixed morph 'body_cbs_thigh_z90p_l' with Morph Loader Pro, change Name to 'body_cbs_thigh_z90n_r', Reverse + Delta, choose 'X : + to - (Left to Right)' from Morph Mirroring dropdown list
- Use swap: reset G9's pose (Left Thigh Side-Side to 0), dial Right Thigh Side-Side to -90, use the step above but choose 'X: Swap'
PS: Mirroring could be also used on fixing fbm/bs, pjcm/cbs, etc on a Wearable, as long as the Wearable is fully symmetrical on X. Well, sometimes if you use Symmetry in Blender to fix both sides but just wanna update one side, better use Attenuate in Morph Loader Pro rather than Mirroring.
