If you insert a part into another part that already hasgeometry in it, SolidWorks disables the ability to break the linkto the parent file. Why? Is this intentional or a bug? If it isintentional, what purpose does it serve to eliminate an option?

If you mirror a part, you get the Insert Part propertymgr, but youdon't get the ability to use the Locate Part functionality. Again,why is this? What purpose does limiting functionality serve? Is itjust that somebody thought we wouldn't need that functionality anddid us the favor of removing it for us?

If you mirror a part and break the link, the last feature in thetree is a Move/Copy Bodies feature with no editable options exceptthe body list. I wasn't aware that Move/Copy could also mirror. Infact, if you use the out-of-the-box Move/Copy, it can't mirror,only translate and rotate. Where does SW magically getfunctionality that is denied to users? If you use a regular mirrorbodies, you have to delete the original body.

Why are these two functions so constrained? I appreciate theadditional functionality, but it has been added in a way that lookslike functionality that exists in other places is beingwithheld.SolidworksParts And Features
