How to move mesh symmetrical within geometry with each other
As Moonboots says, it's not possible to do it in one fell swoop.
See other answer: it is possible. Below solution is still valid, if a little more fiddly, however.
I'd suggest moving each one ...

scale in one direction in blender doesn't work
Uneven scaling will not work if the object is rotated, because it requires shear. It is not supported in object mode. So only scaling in local axis is supported.
This is the message from Ton ...

How to get global rotation of a bone with respect to global planes of axis via python?
You can't do this.
Why? It is because you have converted rotation from quaternions to Euler angles. That's basically means, that you have dozens of variants to have the same rotation using Eulers. Let ...
