[Resolved] assembly with ellipses issue

Hello all,

I'm having an issue mating several hollow elliptical
components. In the past, when mating hollow circular
objects (ie, washers), I create a concentric mate by
selecting the inner diameter edges of each piece,
followed by a coincident mating of the faces to join them
together.

However, when I try to mate hollow ellipses, I can't seem
to create a concentric mate. Whenever I attempt to mate
the inner edges I get the following message "selected
entity is not valid for current mate."

Can anyone provide input on how to properly mate
ellipses?

Many thanks,

LW
