Mirrored Parts' Configurations

Mirrored Parts' Configurations

Mirrored Parts' Configurations

(OP)
OK... I have a part and its mirror (also a part) which consists of the original part as a solid body.  Since I created it, I added a configuration to the original which I would like to show up in the mirrored one.  I've added a configuration to the mirrored part but cannot find a way to specify which configuration of the original I want... is it possible?

RE: Mirrored Parts' Configurations

I am writing this from memory so the exact terminology may be slightly off.

Within the mirror part (in the proper configuration) right click the mirror feature in the feature tree.  Select list external references.  Within the new dialog, you should be able to select which configuration of the parent file is driving this particular config of the chile part.
