Assembly Mates with multiple configurations
Assembly Mates with multiple configurations
(OP)
When I add a new component to an assembly that has several configurations, How can I have the mates automatically be applied to all of the configurations? Currently after mating a component I go to the mate properties and the suppressed check box is unchecked and by default it says "This Configuration", so I select "All Configurations" from the list thinking it should apply the unsupressed mate to all configurations, but it doesn't. I'm sure tis is just me being thick, any help is appreciated. Also, if I apply several mates, Can I select all of them at once and apply them to configurations? It seems as though I can only apply one at a time!!
Thanks,
Tom

The solution may be to switch to one of the other configs where the mates are supressed, select the mates, and unsuppress with the "All configs" option. Or, int he original config, you could suppress the mate, then unsuppress again with the "All" option.
