Suppressing a Mating
Relationship
You can suppress mates to prevent them from being solved. This allows
you to experiment with different types of mates without over defining
the assembly.
To suppress a mate in the active configuration:
Right-click the mate in the FeatureManager design
tree, and select Properties.
-
Select Suppressed, and click
OK.
To unsuppress the mate, repeat the process, and clear the Suppressed check box.
You can also select one or more mates and
click Suppress
(or
Unsuppress
) on the
shortcut menu, or click Edit,
Suppress (or Unsuppress), This Configuration.
To suppress a mate for one or more configurations:
-
Select one or more mates and click Edit,
Suppress (or Unsuppress),
Specified Configurations (or All Configurations).
If you select Specified Configurations,
a dialog box appears.
Select the configurations you want to change from
the list, and click OK.
You can control
the suppression state of mates in a design table. The
column header in the design table uses the syntax $STATE@mate_name
(for example, $STATE@Coincident3.)
In the table body cells, type S
for suppressed or U for unsuppressed.
