how to mirror a component while they keep the link

[1807817717]

Hi, I'm wondering how to mirror a component while they keep the link between them? For example, i hope that after i mirror a component (now i have 2 components), and edit the original one, the mirrored component would change simutaneously. But in the current version of Fusion360, i can't find such feature (when one edited, the other doesn't change in my Fusion). Thanks!

Hi,

Do you really have components and no bodies?

Please show a screenshot with the browser fully open.

Thanks for your reply! Sorry for my mistake. There was indeed bodies in the component.

Here's a demo to describe my confusion. On the right hand side of the workspace lied my original component, with the mirrored one on the left. I first create the original body in the "Component1", then mirror it to get "Component1(Mirror)", followed by a hole created on "Component1". I expected that a hole would appear on "Component1(Mirror)" as well whereas it didn't happen. Do you know the mechanism of the "link" between original components and the mirrored ones and how I can control such "link"? Thank you very much!
