I have a situation where a SUB-Asse

I have a situation where a SUB-Asse

(OP)
I have a situation where a SUB-Assembly (supplier provided) needs to be shown in 2 different positions. If I owned the assy. I could use arrangements but now I am thinking of linked body but I can't suppress it with arrangement. I thought of suppress the constraints but can't reach into the supplies part...

OK so the question is "how do I show the components in 2 different config even thought I do not own it?"
Please be gentle as I should know but...

RE: I have a situation where a SUB-Asse

The "over-ride position" function may do what you need. I very rarely use it, so I don't remember how it works with arrangements...

I will try that but imagine all the wire ties need to be moved from right to left side...you can see where mirror doesn't work...

RE: I have a situation where a SUB-Asse

So this is a mirrored part/assmebly? I don't see that mentioned in the first post. Perhaps you can elaborate on your situation?

can you create a new assembly above the current top level and in there use arrangements ?
