mirroring parts in a set and constraints

Good evening,
I wanted to ask you something: coming from cad as creo and solidworks, I was accustomed to the fact that mirroring a component, this was mirrored completely, i.e. I then found myself in the tree a part with couplings also mirrored compared to the original. in inventor instead appears to me the symbol with the book and the bug above, the code of the part (right), points and axes and nothing more. and of course, at every change, the mirrored parts do not automatically take the changes of position made on the "original" ( mirrored naturally).
but the problem is that I can't even change the constraints because inventor doesn't let me see them for the mirrored parts.

would someone explain to me if there is a different way, and similar to what I require, to make the mirror (with clearly visible and editable constraints) and in case, how to do it?

Thank you very much
 
sometimes inventor during the mirrors of components, can not interpret the mirrored bond for which it can happen that the latter is suppressed.
in this case you can still edit the mirrored bond by changing what it takes for correct positioning and then discover it.
Then it depends on the version of inventor you use, I with 2019 very often have to regenerate some constraints on mirrors, especially if they are referred to faces or edges and not from plans or axes of origin.
if you bind on plans or axes of origin these are mirrored "almost" always.

It seems to me that he is creating his own constraints when he mirrors, that they have nothing to do with those set by the user, and therefore the case of modification, for example of the hole of the "winner" part, the positions of the mirrored parts are frozen.
However, from what you say, there doesn't seem to be a way of getting useful constraints from mirroring.
the thing that I find incongruent is that instead with the rectangular repetition it copies very well the constraints.

edit: la 2018
 
I'm sorry to take advantage of it, but the subject falls to bean. in a project I missed out on a problem that I had never seen before: when I want to mirror a set does not give me the classic 3 options mirror/reuse/excluding... but by default it gives me only the "reuse" (the others are not clickable). and therefore it does not mirror anything (it does not generate me neither the asseme _mir, nor the single parts _mir). with old projects never had problems, and even if I reopen them now I have everything normal. Does anyone know how to fix or what settings I may have touched inadvertently? Thank you.
