I have a component which I place on a ceiling panel and then makes a groove in that ceiling panel by using process or automatic.
But when I repeat and mirror this component I can't get it to make the groove. When I 'use process' it only says 'not a component'.
How can I get the groove in de panels without having to place each item individually (I have over 300 items to fasten the ceiling panels)?
And is there a way to make every simular component use the process without clicking them one by one?
To be clear: I repeated the component linear and then I mirrored it. When I only mirror the component it works, but it doesn't work when I repeat the first repetition (first linear and then mirror)

Re: Component process
when using a component with tooling you are going to want to use multiplication of propagation's and use mirror first propagation then linear propagation. then after that the component function will ask you for tooling. if you use mirror then do a separate repeat later tool will not come in for all instances.

Re: Component process
I works indeed. But after the mirror (over ZX) propagation the linear propagation will not be mirrored but repeated in the same (Y+) direction.
I did found out though, that you can use linear first and then mirror with the multipligation of propagations function. At least, it worked for me.
Thanks for the tip!
