Mate is OK.
|
No action needed.
|
Mate type is grayed out. For example:
 (No error message)
|
Mate is OK. One of the parts used in the mate is suppressed so the mate is temporarily inactive. The mate will re-activate when you unsuppress the part.
|
No action needed.

"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.

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.
Example: Mates to Dangling Geometry
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. See Mated Entities PropertyManager.
Otherwise, delete the mate and create a different mate to perform the same function.
|
| "Cylinders are not concentric. Distance between centers is n mm." |
This mate is trying to move a component in a way it cannot move because the component is either fixed or constrained by other mates.
