Making Synchronous Design Changes in an Assembly

We have seen various posts and examples that demonstrate the benefits that Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology has when it comes to initial geometry creation or making fast flexible design changes. Some of these include:-
Unified 2D & 3D
Steering Wheel
Live Rules
PMI Dimensions
Editing Imported Data
However all of these examples focus on the creation and manipulation of geometry within [...]
