help on copy paste options in creo 2.0

$

We just switched from Wildfire 4 to Creo 2.0.

 

The copy paste functionality in assemblies has changed a bit with dependancies of parts when you copy more than one at a time. An example of something that I do regularily is a bolt and nut combination. A lot of times Patterns aren't the best option, and I generally don't like patterns a whole lot anyways.

 

Old (desired) way:

What I would do it constrain the bolt, and then constrain the nut to only the bolt for the first pair. Then to copy the same pair I to a different hole, I would select both the bolt and the nut, hit ctrl-c and then ctrl-v. The paste/place component of the bolt would show up and I would set the constraints and then hit OK. The nut would keep the same constraints onto the bolt and I would just hit ok.

 

New way:

Creo makes me define every constraint of both the bolt and the nut, irregardless of how I have them constrained in the copied components.

 

I'm sure that there are options to define this behavior, but I am having trouble interpreting the cryptic option list that is the configuration file.

 

Anyone willing to help me figure out what options are available to set this up?

 

Thanks
