Updated dimension is Design was not detected in the existing CAM setup.

After creating a CAM file I went back into DESIGN to change a dimension in a component that was a mirror of another part. I also moved that component. This change was not detected when I returned to MANUFACTURE.

This is the first I have seen when a change in DESIGN has not been detected in MANUFACTURE.

Is this a know problem or have I blundered it some way?

Please attach your model and indicate the dimension(s) that you updated and had issues with. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

I know how, but not going to do that.
Too much water flowing over the dam to paddle upstream.
This was one part in an assembly of many more parts all built in the one file.
The part(s) in question were a left -right mirrored pair. Something I don't normally do.
The part dimension value was changed without a problem. What caught me by surprise was that the change was not picked up to force an update on CAM side.

The question was not with the dimension it is with the fact that CAM did not pick up the change. Something I had not seen happen before. I was wondering if this was a hidden feature of the mirror command.
