Smart components populate upwards from sub assy

    Hi

    Anyone know if it is possible for smart components in a sub assembly to have
    their smart features work in the main assembly? I have some parts that work
    fine when inserted into the main assembly on their own but SW will not allow
    the smart features to be inserted when the components are in a sub assembly.
    (The menu items are greyed out or not available)
    eg
    part2 should make a hole in part1. It doesn't seem to work, but does if
    part1 is inserted directly. Unfortunately this isn't possible as it is a
    sub assembly of a pcb that I wanted the front panel components to
    automatically create holes etc.

    Any help appreciated

    ps. SW2006: SP3

    thanks for confirming the issue. I really hope this gets addressed in SW07
