Assembly Mates folder NOT in Feature Manager
Assembly Mates folder NOT in Feature Manager
(OP)
Has anyone else experienced this.
In an Assembly if a part is expanded in the feature manager it should have a folder inside of it named "MATES IN XX Assembly" containing the mates used to constrain the part to the other parts in the assembly.
I can see that the mates are active in the assembly,the problem is that the folder isn't created in the part. They do however show up on the main Mates folder at the bottom of the Feature Manager. This only happens sporadically to some assemblies. Any solutioins to this?

What are you using?

happened also with sp 2.?

View features - Mates show up at the bottom under a MateGroup Which can be expanded to show all mates in the assembly
View mates and Dependencies - Exapnd the part and the mates show up directly under the part (those that are controlled for just that part in the assembly) Below that is a folder that contains the features.
Both options are located at the top level assembly name. RMB the top level Assembly name and hover over top "Tree Display" - A fly out menus opens up and at the bottom of that menu are those 2 options.

When View “By Dependencies” is set, it is the same, in different order.
620721 (assembly in model tree)
352345 (sub-assembly in model tree)
+(folder with paper clip) Mates in 620721
352246 (part in model tree)
+(folder with paper clip) Mates in 620721

Yes I agree with you when I want to use dependencies. However when I do a search for a component, the search stops at every dependency used.
