      I am trying to rotate a component copy that I have nested within another component using the Dynamic Component Attributes, but whenever I rotate the copy 180 Degrees in the Z direction (by setting RotZ = copy*180 ) I cannot move it in the X Direction. I'm starting to grasp why this is happening, but I haven't come up with a solution yet. I think that it is moving the object the specified direction in X then rotating and then moving the object back that same distance that I originally moved it in the X direction, thereby moving it to share the same axis as the original copy I created.

      I tried rotating and moving a non-nested component and I was able to move the copy exactly where I wanted, however now that I have components within components I can no longer move it to where I want it.

      Is there some fundamental that I am missing here?

      Ideas are greatly appreciated,
      Thanks.

        I dont understand where is the problem... If I make a component copy inside an other component, rotating, moving and scaling the copies work.
        Test.skp
        Can you send your SKP file to see the problem ?
