    I somehow have two identical managers on the left side of the screen. How
    do I turn one of them off?

    I was fooling around with mates and somehow ended up with two.

    Thanks.

    Thanks, that got it out of the way. It's not gone but it's out of the way.

    There was a thread about that a few weeks back. Look it up. There was a
    handy macro that would make both windows into one automagically with a
    hot key. The thread was about a hotkey for collapsing assemblies.

    Huh? I have to have a macro to make one of them go away? Is there a
    "manual" way to make one of them go away? Why is the second one there? Who
    put it there?

    Just click and drag one window to cover the other. But you'll miss a
    useful feature if you do: each of the two feature managers have tabs
    that set the display mode. I work with the feature tree tab at the top
    and the properties tab at the bottom so I can keep an eye on assembly
    mates.

    Why?

    If you select an assembly instance, all its mates will show in the
    properties window. Control-click on another instance, and its mates are
    added to the list **AND** the mates between those instances are shown in
    bold face. Saves much time in debugging a mate list full of cherries!
