Break link on move copy and pattern .

Break link on move copy and pattern .

It would be a very good addition if it would be possible to always break link in all copy move's and patters .I do a lot of hand rails and it give a lot of extra work to copy and paste new every time ,

I've assumed that I missed this feature when I do a mirror of furniture parts. It would be wonderful to build asymmetric  parts from the same basic piece.

If I've understood correctly this is a feature that seems to be lacking.  To provide more background.  Copying components by moving (create copy option), mirroring or using a pattern feature is a fantastic way to rapidly duplicate, and save time.  I love Fusion 360; it's hard to fault. 

 

However, later on in the design process you may quickly decide to place a sketch on a component and perhaps cut a hole into it for some wires to go through.  Bip, bap, bop and the job is done.  Brilliant. Then you realise the item is copied and all such items in your design have a hole and it looks like a Swiss cheese.  

 

From my cruise of the knowledge base, it suggests you should remove or delete the component and then copy and paste a new one.  You would then need to put any additional joints on the item etc.  It would be really nice if you could simply right click to make it a standalone object.
