Making a feature always appear last

Hi,

is it possible to make a feature (or a feature group) appear last in the feature tree?

Say, for example that I have a set of sheet metal solids that represent one half of a product. Then I mirror these bodies and group them into one Feature Group. If I continue working with the originals they won't update to the mirrored half; but if the mirrored group would keep itself as the last feature in the tree, then this mirrored half would automatically keep itself updated.

Hi,
I suppose your question is in context to the mirror feature in a single part file.You can turn off the FIX AT CURRENT TIMESTAMP option when creating the mirror (image attached herewith).This will ensure that your mirror feature will update as per the changes you make to the mirrored solid anytime.

Hi,

Thanks, this is a bit different approach but will result in what I was looking for!
