Is it possible to change move/copy feature values via equation or per config?

    I have multiple configs of a part and I have 2 inserted parts that are
    postioned using the move/copy part feature.

    I want to control the translation distance via an equation so that the
    2 inserted parts relocate properly as configs are changed.

    If I double click on the move/copy feature the values do not appear on
    the screen. Is there some other way to do this?

    btw: sw2005 sp0.0

    Thanks

    Position it using move/copy add a distance mate and configure the value
    of the distance mate to achieve the desired position

    You can't add distance mates inside of a part file unless I'm missing
    something...

    Thanks,

    Create a reference sketch and use a point to point move in the
    Move/Copy body feature. Oh and submit an enhancement or bug report for
    the dimensions that don't show.
