So, if you change one of these linked copies, all other models will change, too. Great for repeating parts like screws. It's actually similar to the "linked mirror" function, except for the fact that I don't want a mirrored copy :-) Regards, Jaap

I also noticed that I have to make changes to the original part if I want all instances to be changed. But, other from that, I'm happy with it! Regards, Jaap
