You can repair missing mate references for references to faces,
edges, planes, axes, and points.
SOLIDWORKS® repairs the missing reference for a
component by selecting a reference on the component that is in the same location and
orientation to the missing reference.
For models that contain multiple missing mate
references, right-click the Mates
folder and click Auto Repair
.
To
repair a missing mate reference:
- Open a model that contains a mate error.
- Right-click the mate and in the context toolbar for the mate, click
Auto Repair
.
If
SOLIDWORKS cannot repair the error, you are prompted to solve the mate
manually.
