We used the AM shifters and converted them from step's into .ipt's. The shifters had extra parts on them that we have to extrude off as well. so it was really handy once we saved it as .ipt's.
Not only that, but if it's an assembly, there will be 0 constraints when you bring it back in. It took forever to constrain the Andy Mark transmissions.
