Bone rotation problem

Support Animation and Rigging
1

Hi Everybody,

I want to copy the rotation of a single bone to several others, which works nice with constrains, but the rotation of the bones itself, when they are created, are strange.
I duplicated the bone on the left and rotated it 90° around a common center (not shown). As a result the local coordinates of the bone on the right are no aligned with the world any more. what can i do abut that? It would be nice to have the local x-Axis pointing to the right.

Thank you,
Luis

Nothing happens. Neither in Pose mode nor in Edit mode.

Found the solution. The bone roll can be modified in the menu. Armature->Bone Roll->Clear Roll. This lets the z-Axis point up. Other possibilities are also available.
