Hi all,
I hope this is just a brain freeze but what are the question marks and plus signs next to many of the parts in my assembly indicating? I understand the minus sign being under-defined.....

Thanks,
BB

Sorry forgot to mention that they only show up in one of the three configurations.
 
Definitely brain freeze. The + and ? are indicators that the component has over-defined / unsolvable mates.
 
Argggg, I think my pain killers are clouding my memory.

Thanks
 
Chances are you created mates in one of the other configurations that are supposed to be suppressed in that configuration but aren't.
