Derived assemblies and ballooning

[karthur1]

I have a .ipt that is made from a derived assembly (.iam). The assembly is actually a weldment and the ipt is the machined weldment. Now I need to use this machined part in a different assembly. The catch is the new part is a mirror of the original. No problem, I though, just derived the machined part into another part and mirror it. That works great, until I try to make a detail for my weldment.
When I try to balloon the parts in the weldment, I only get one balloon (because it is a derived part).

I "could" start from scratch and rebuild the entire part, but that seems like a waste of time with this modern day software.

Is there any easier way?

In INV 2009 I would use the new Substitute LOD functionality:
- In the original weldment assembly (from which the mirrored part was derived) create a new substitute LOD, use the derived part as the substitute part.
- In drawing create a base view from the weldment assembly in the Substitute LOD and a parts list from the created drawing view.

I am not aware about such a valid workaround (without some manual work and keeping associativity) in older INV versions.
