Mate is OK. One of the parts
used in the mate is suppressed so the mate is temporarily
inactive. The mate will reactivate when you unsuppress the part. |
No action required. |
"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
required 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. See Techniques for Fixing Mate Problems.
|
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.
