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.
