Mated Entities PropertyManager

In the Mated Entities PropertyManager, you can reattach dangling mate entities.

Items you can select include a mate, a component, or a Mates folder to replace the entities for a single mate, all the mates on a component, or all the mates in the assembly, respectively.

To open this PropertyManager, do one of the following:

  • Right-click an item and select Replace Mate Entities.
  • Select an item and click Replace Mate Entities (Assembly toolbar).
The Mated Entities PropertyManager also appears if you select Re-attach mates in the Replace Components PropertyManager. Additionally, a window shows the original component with the missing mate entity highlighted, and the Missing Entities pop-up toolbar appears.
