I wanted to get into using lock mates since they appear to save time and size. But . . . seems if I suppress the mate and move the part, unsuppressing the mate doesn't bring the item back to the lock position.
That may be a good thing if you have one configuration, so you adjust your assembly without deleting and re-creating the mate. But with additonal configurations, this is a problem. I want to have an item lock in one place in config 1 and lock in another postion in config 2. That doesn't work.
Any technique around this? Anyone agree it ought to work differently?
