"This mate is over defining the assembly. Consider deleting some
of the over defining mates"
or
"This mate cannot be solved. Consider:
Deleting this mate.
Moving the assembly closer to the desired solution
with dragging.
Adding more mates to further define the assembly.
Changing the mating scheme."
|
Potential causes:
Another mate in the assembly is attempting to
violate this mate (the offending mate displays the symbol).
The mate and an already-existing distance or angle
mate are redundant to each other.
The mate is attempting to locate a component that
is fixed.
|
Look for other mates with the symbol. If found, investigate
those first because they often cause this error.

for Fixing Over Defined and Redundant mates |

Various messages; For example:
"One of the entities of this mate is suppressed, invalid, or no
longer present." |
The mate is dangling because one of the entities (face, edge, plane,
etc.) is no longer in the model.

This is generally caused by editing, suppressing, or deleting a part
feature, or replacing a part with another part that is missing the mated
feature.
Suppressing an entire part does not cause
this error.
|
If a similar entity is available, edit the mate and select the new entity,
or use
Replace Mated Entities.
Otherwise, delete the mate and create a different mate to perform the
same function. |
