Degree of Freedom in Subassembly carry over to top level assembly?

[jmongi]

I have a modelled piano hinge where I left the concentric mate rotation unlocked so the hinge parts can rotate. When I place that hinge subassembly into my main assembly, it no longer rotates.

Any way to carry over the freedom of movement?

Make the subassembly flexible in the top level.

[jmongi]

Exactly! How do I do that...

Ok, replied before the picture!

It seems like every command I assume to be available (like make flexible) are the exact commands that someone decided didn't need included in the contextual menu. *sigh*

Thanks for pointing out the button.

Now open up the contextual menu and right click in a blank space. A "customize" icon pops up so select it. Now you can find and drag in any command icon your heart desires.
