Defer Mates

    Prior to SW 2004 It was possible when mating a component to an
    assembly to defer the mates, ie they were excepted but it did not
    actually apply them in the assembly till you had added all the mates.

    This was very useful, as when you added a mate the conponent did not
    shoot off elsewhere on the screen!

    Now it has gone , I have to add a mate, then zoom out, find the
    component, zoom in, then add the next mate, and it goes on!

    Is there a setting where i can reactivate defer mates?

    Thanks in anticipation

    In the Mate Dialog box, uncheck the "Show Preview" checkbox at the bottom.

    In the "Mate Property Manager", simply uncheck Show Preview.
