Improved Mirror Components

A MirrorComponent feature is added to the Feature- Manager design tree to maintain the position of mirrored components relative to seed components. You can create an opposite-hand version as a derived configuration of the component you are mirroring.

Assembly Visualization Tool

The Assembly Visualization tool provides different ways to display and sort an assembly's components in a list and in the graphics area. You can list the components in these ways:
- Nested view, where subassemblies are indented
- Flat view, where subassembly structures are ignored (similar to a parts-only BOM)

SpeedPak Enhancements

You can now create a SpeedPak configuration for an assembly even when the assembly contains subassemblies that have SpeedPak configurations active.

View Mates Enhancements

View Mates now appears in a separate window. A new icon indicates mates that are in the path to ground. These positioning mates are shown first on the list. A horizontal bar separates the positioning mates from other mates.

Virtual Part Enhancements

You can make externally saved components virtual while you insert them or after you insert them. The name of a virtual component now always includes its parent assembly's name. You can copy virtual components between assemblies without links to the original assembly. You can move virtual components within the hierarchy of the FeatureManager design tree. You can specify the default behavior for saving new incontext components.
