Width Mates

[pgp001]

Can anyone tell me how to quickly reverse the orientation of a width mate please.

I seem to remember once doing this accidentally by double clicking "something", but for the life of me I cannot find a way to repeat it now.

Thanks
Phil

What I have done before is suppress the width mate and any other constraining mates. Rotate the part to the new orientation and then un-suppress the mates you suppressed previously. This worked for me on a simple assembly but may give you problems on more complex assemblies.
