Mirroring Components in a Fusion 360 Assembly - A Better Way

From time to time you will need to mirror a component in a Fusion 360 assembly but hate to get that component mirror designation in the Browser.  You may also only need the mirror component so you have to hide the original.  In this short video I show you an easy method of mirroring a component without these drawbacks.

I would like to thank Peter Doering, Autodesk Forum handle @TrippyLighting, for sharing this tip.

Creating Variable Sub-Assembly Motion in Multiple Assemblies

From time to time you will have a sub-assembly, that contains motion limits, in various top level assemblies.  The issue you sometimes face is you cannot have different motion limits in two or more top level assemblies.  If you change the motion limits in the original sub-assembly, all the top level assemblies will update the the same motion limits which is not what you want.  In this short video I show how to place sub-assemblies, with motion limits, in as many top level assemblies as you want and still have different motion limits in each.
