Links vs. Clones
I started playing with links today and it occurred to me that they seem to work very similar to clones. I was wondering if there is a guide as to when use which? Or if links are gonna replace clones going forward?
Re: Links vs. Clones
Not an expert but I guess links are more appropriate when you need to have several time the same part (eg. in an assembly).
Clone makes sense when you need several objects with similarities. Eg. have a base shape that is cloned then further modified in different manners.

Why link can't be attachment offset adjusted?
Is link will replace clone?

Re: Links vs. Clones
Indeed link can be attached and offset adjusted, but it seems not working

The green properties are properties of Cube, not Link to Cube (Cube001).
