Show Symmetry Constraint in Model Tree

Show Symmetry Constraint in Model Tree

The ideia is quite simple and I think it's obrigatory to have implemented!

 

When we have symmetry constrain in our assembly it uses 3 componentes although only the ones that are symmetric will show the constrain in the model tree, my suggestion is to show it also in the component that is the middle plane.

Sometimes I'm trying to see why I can't move something and I don't instantaneously see that that component is being used in a symmetric constrain.

 

I know that I can see it if I click on that component and show the constrains but as you can see there is an inconsistency in the approach why are they visible in one place but not in the other??

This is a very important feature! This is especially important when making changes to large assemblies if parts are deleted. For example, part A and B are symmetric about part C. Part A and part C are both fully constrained to parts D and E respectively. Part B has constraints to D and the symmetry about C. Now if part E is deleted, parts B and C can both move. If part B is re-constrained, you won't see from the browser why part C can't be moved, which makes troubleshooting constraint issues very hard.
