Can't Export Gen8 Male Rigged To Blender

GingerJ

I've successfully exported rigged gen8 females to Blender in .dae and I thought male would work the same, but it doesn't lol. I've tried exporting in every format/played around with the settings and the only way ANY rigging carries over is in fbx, but as with the gen 8 female the rig comes out completely in the wrong location and non functional. I COULD rig it in Blender with "autorig," but it really isn't as automatic as it sounds. I'd prefer not to have to rig every male character I make manually. Any ideas?
