Reviewing Mates for a Single Component

Right-click the assembly icon at the top of the FeatureManager design tree and click Tree Display > View Features.
Expand pillar<1> in the FeatureManager design tree.
The features used to make the pillar are displayed. The Mates in mill folder lists the mates in the mill assembly that involve pillar<1> .
Right-click the assembly icon at the top of the FeatureManager design tree and click Tree Display > View Mates and Dependencies.
The mates that involve pillar<1> appear. The Features folder lists the features used to make the pillar. You can use this display of the FeatureManager design tree to focus on the structure or hierarchy of the assembly rather than the details of the sketches and features.

The icon indicates mates that are in the path to ground. These mates hold the part in position relative to the origin of the assembly.
