RE: Feature Manager Icons

Quote (SW Help):

Assembly components in the FeatureManager design tree are preceded by (+) if their position is over defined; they are preceded by (–) if their position is under defined; they are preceded by (?) if their position could not be solved; they are preceded by (f) if their position is fixed (locked in place).

Assembly mates are preceded by (+) if they are involved in over defining the position of components in the assembly; they are preceded by (?) if they could not be solved.

Simply means that SW does not know how to interpret a mate. You will have to expand the mates and investigate.
