This new feature is very nice to handle dynamic assemblies but I do not understand why it only can be temporary.

Maybe it sounds more simple than it is but is it not possible to make a tool similar to de temp. fix movement like this:

For example;

A cylinder that has an arm that can be moved in and out. Attached to this arm are several other parts that are able to move and/or rotate.

Now select the arm of the cylinder and add a movement group fix, now select all parts that need to be fixed or grouped and hit ok.

Now load this assembly in a new assembly, make it flexible and move the cylinder arm in or out, when selected the arm to move it, it will automatically "load" all move fixed and groups.

End of example.

This works like a combination of ‘temporary fix/group’ and the standard saved ‘fix part’ function, but makes this a flexible fix. So like you can chose to fix or float a part in an assembly and save this, you can also save the flexible fix for dynamic assemblies.

I would like to know if this is interesting enough and if it’s possible to make this feature?

Thanks in advance!

PS. Please tell me if my idea is not clear enough.
