is it possible to position same components for same sub-assemblies independently?

[JavadM]

Hi Friends
this may sound basic or odd question about assemblies.
in the example depicted bellow i have a simple assembly. i want be able to position each vertical cylinder freely from the others. the yellow components are created using instance command. so they can move exact the same to gray ones. Blue sub assemblies looking rigid in main assembly but they can repositioned if Sub-assembly is the work part.
the problem is that in this method also both blue sub assemblies will postion exact same.

so what is best solution for assemblies like this?
also the number of included sub assemblies may be higher and without sub assemblies, importing and constraining components one by one will be boring and time-consuming.

You need to use the 'Override Position' function.

Not sure what your issues are. Could you provide more details?

Hi John
finally i did that.

i wanted to be able to use multiple instances of one sub-assembly in a higher level assembly.
and also use sub-assembly DOF and position same components in different places. using your instruction i searched documentation about "Position override" and found the solution. blue sub-assemblies are inserted individually and green ones are created using instance command, in both issues position override works fine.
