Mirror parts with bolted connection

[mecram1]

What is the best way to mirror parts with bolted connections within an assembly (Inventor 2010)?

I try not to mirror parts in assemblies, can't remember the last time I used it. Can you try to pattern the bolted connections instead?

Unfortunetly autodedesk does not let you pattern a bolted connection. I can pattern a point and then use the bolted pattern on the points but most of my bolt placements don't follow pattern.

Since when? I can.

You are better off to use pattern by holes anyway because a bolted pattern does not pattern holes if you use the BC to create the hole.
