Re: Flipping Inventor Parts

Interesting technique (!) ... BUT there are several parts associated with that work plane and I just verified the option you're suggesting is not available in a single Origin work plane (which would help me localize the desired effect).

Would the only available work around be to create a work plane which occupies the same space as the other work plane and then use it solely for that one part?

AND WHILE I HAVE YOUR EAR, What series of constraints can be created to limit a part to the same plane as another part while allowing variable offsets along the last remaining axis? For example, the "ground" is the XY plane where z=0 and the bottom of a box is always in parallel plane with the ground for any value of z.

Thanks!
