Mate button not working
Mate button not working
(OP)
After doing an exploded view of an assembly component, my mate button gets suppressed. I had this problem once and I had resolved it, but now I don’t remember how I did it. Can anyone help me, it is really annoying.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

CorBlimeyLimey: the mate button does not became active after collapsing.
I don't now if this happened because i have saved the file in the exploded mode. i've noticed that if i do an exploded view and than undo the operation, the mate button get's active again.

However, I have just made a test assy, exploded it and saved in the exploded state ... my Mate button does NOT become suppressed. As Yanceman stated previously, if the mate button is clicked, the explode collapses but returns to the exploded state when the mate manager is closed.
This is with SW06, I cannot remember if previous versions reacted the same.

Question:
Why is the mate icon on toolbar grayed out?
Answer:
The mate icon will become grayed out if an assembly has a configuration that is in an exploded state. Once the configuration is collapsed, the mate icon will become available.

The knowledge base post I posted is for SW06, so there is that form of limitation.
