Mate preview and default question.

Mate preview and default question.

Mate preview and default question.

(OP)
When I am mating parts together most of the time I will see the two parts come together in a default arrangement i.e. bolt and hole will assume a concentric mate and allow me to change the orientation or do someting different if this is not what I need.  But some times I will see no preview or any thing and will have to choose my mate type and accept the mate arrangement i.e. not doing a RMB to accept.  This seems to be someting new or recent we are on SW2006 sp2.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
