I am trying to scale and position the bones of one armature to another. And, I was wondering if there was a way to snap the position of the bones in one armature to the position of the bones in the other?
Thank you for your time!

I was looking for the same. I saw the UE folks do this and was trying to do it without their plugin. They show it happening here... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9cTXzO8wq0&list=PLZlv_N0_O1gaxZDBH0-8A_C3OyhyLsJcE&index=4&ab_channel=UnrealEngine)
It's a bit tricky since your cursor has to be in the correct place...
- In object mode, select both armatures.
- Go into 'Edit mode'
- Enable 'Vertex Snapping' (refer to image below to see where to find the button to open the menu. (enable rotation/scale here if you'd like to)
- Select the bone head/tail that you would like to move to the other.
- ** Tricky Part here: Ensure your cursor is inside (or near) the source head/tail before you start transforming.
- Press G to transform the position of the tail/head.
- Moving close to the other armature tail/head should snap to it.
** Also note that, if you move the tail of one bone, you will likely have to move the head of it's connected bone too.
