Powercopies/UDFs- Axis system selection

Hi guys, I've just recently created some power copies & UDFs and currently when instantiating them into other parts I have to select each axis rather than just one whole axis system. I'm quite keen on just being able to click my axis system as I've seen on other parts, but not sure how. In the power copy window, I can see each axis and origin point created.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Simon

when you define your UDF / PC inputs select the axis from the spec tree and see if that help.

Thanks for the response, sorted a system that seems to work, I just need to be super careful about not selecting the absolute axis when basing sketches etc! Ended up coloring the absolute axis red, the "internal" axis- which links to the absolute & is constructed with its own origin point & axes from planes, from equations (seems to work)- green, and hiding the absolute axis unless I really need it.
