Summary: Be able to edit suppressed assembly constraints
Description: I wish you could edit suppressed assembly constraints.
How Used: When moving/editing assembly parts, sometimes it is necessary to change a constraint that will affect many other constraints that will need to be edited to "fix" them. Usually before changing the first constraint, I will suppress the other constraints that will cause errors. The I will edit the first constraint, which will reposition the part. Then I have to go and fix the other suppressed constraints. Unfortunately, to edit these constraints, you must first, unsuppress them which sometimes causes them to fly off in undesirable locations. I realize I could turn on Defer Updates, but I usually work with this off, so it is a hassle to switch it off just to edit constraints. It would be much easier just to edit the suppressed constraint.
