    Apply constraints when reflect components (Mirror Components tool)

    It’s very useful that you can create components mirrored applying the same contraints, because when you create a mirror in the Assambly Enviroment, the new parts (that are Derived Parts) keep all degrees of freedom. I think that is possible add a checkbox in the Mirror Components: File Names dialog box to control if you want to apply or infer the constraints or not.

    This should have been a given when mirroring parts was created. The time savings for mirroring parts in an assembly is lost when I have to go back and constrain all the new parts. Grounding the parts is fine until something in the assembly changes.

    Thank you

    Greetings dan.szymanski,

     

    What does this mean? It's possible that this be included in an Autodesk Inventor future release?

    Thank you so much!
