Magnetic Mates

You can suppress magnetic mates and connection points.

When you suppress a component, magnetic mates associated with the component are suppressed. Suppressed connection points are not available when you create a magnetic mate.

When you have unused connection points and move a component chain, magnetic mates are no longer created between components within the chain. When you move a component, the color for all connection points is magenta.

To suppress a magnetic mate:
  1. Open a model that contains magnetic mates.
  2. In the FeatureManager design tree, expand the Mates folder.
  3. Right-click Magnetic Mate and click Suppress .
