Can I reverse the bolt orientation with one command?

    If you edit the mate, you can change the which mate connector to use on the part (keep the one on the bolt), but you'll have to do it in 2 steps to get the nut on the other side too.

    Thank you. That makes sense.
    I have six bolts and four wheels, 24 bolts to turn in total.
    I suppose I need to make the wheels an assembly to reduce the work.

    If possible assembly patterns should be utilized. Doing so will reduce the number parts that need to be mated.
