I'm going through the Solidworks tutorials, so far so good, I have just finished the hinge tutorial.
One thing didn't seem to work correctly though, when I was assigning mates and working on collision detectment, the hinge recognised what was going on and worked as a hinge. When I ticked to close the feature manager after it was working and re-tried the part it had lost the collison detectment.
Is that normal, or did I miss something?
Thank you.

You will need to turn the collision detection on again when you open the part each time if you want to check collision. Collision detection isnt on all the time.
