Cannot place a dimension off of a specific feature in the sheet metal part. Issue description:

Issue:
Cannot place a dimension off of a specific feature in the sheet metal part.
Issue description:
• Unable to select reference for dimension from sheetmetal model edge due to the presence of the Mirror feature.
• Dependent mirror command locks the current dimension scheme.
• If we suppress the mirror feature, still we cannot modify the dimension scheme on the original shape.
Steps to reproduce issue:
• Create a flat wall in sheetmetal (Flat1) -> Create a Mirror of Flat1
• Edit definition (Flat1) -> Shape -> Sketch -> Unable to add dimension to references a different flange
Expected result:
Can able to add a dimension on the original shape, so it references a different flange than was originally selected and it is directly reflected in the mirrored wall.
The mirror should reference the parent feature but it should not control/ lock the parent feature to add a dimension.
Reference data:
• Cannot_place_dimension.mp4
• frame_top_front.prt
