Re: Referencing features between Assembly 4 bodies

Hi Mark - Awesome - thank you! I've downloaded your file and will take a look. I've opened it and noticed one thing I'm not clear on - you said you made "a simple copy", and I think that's the "arduino_copy" body in your file, is that correct? I don't see how you did that - when ...

I've imported a STEP file for the Arduino, and used Assembly 4 to create an assembly and position it precisely where I want it. Now want to project the screw holes down onto the case to sketch the standoff posts. Here's a sim...
