Re: Component in rollback state; assembly is inaccessible now.

I have started using a technique that a guy here showed me. It isn't
automatic, but not bad.

Create the assy that has the parts mated as you wish. Then in that assy,
intelligently mirror the desired parts, deciding what needs to be mirror
parts, and which are instances, and fix them. Now add a new config (other,
mirrored, etc). In the main config, suppress the mirrored parts, and in the
other config suppress the original parts.

The advantage of this method is that it's fairly quick and usually the assy
with the mirrored parts fixed in it can then be used in the parent assy as
is by changing the config - the mates probably still apply properly, or at
least mostly.

The down side is that if you make changes to the original parts, you have to
remirror them - they don't update. But it only takes a short time to do it.
I've tried it a few times and it's not a bad method.
