Is it possible to mirror an assembly component within the assembly?
Also is it possible to measure between two parallel surfaces/planes?

Re: Component mirror?
No.
There are already existing measurement tools in FC. With activated Part WB you find a menu "Measure" in the menubar.

Re: Component mirror?
Yes I have seen the existing measure tool but it only seems to go from point to point. Meaning if I measure in between two parallel planes/surfaces I get from point to point, where ever I pick on the surfaces, or a perpendicular measurement between the two, that's what I'm looking for.
Re: Component mirror?
Use the tools circled in red available in part workbench, I manually permanently added them to my toolbar so they are available on all WB (circled in black)

Manipulator WB has feature called "Caliper", which provides such measurements.
