Thanks Doug, I also received a similar reply from Dan Wolf.
This explaines exactly why I have never seen this message in my 15+ years.
Most of my experience is in advanced surfacing class "A" modeling of
cosmetic parts, but this was such a simple little part, I decided it would
be a good idea to just slam it out in solid mode. (which included mirroring
this particular feature)
Guess it wasn't such a good idea after all. (at lease the mirroring part)
Just don't understand why PTC would disable reference modification just
because a feature has been mirrored...
Thanks
Bernie
