-;Q~ There are modeling situations in which unresolved components create rebuild errors.

In these situations, issue the forced rebuild, Ctrl+Q. The Ctrl+Q option rebuilds the

model and its features. If the mates still contain rebuild errors, resolve all the components

below the entry in the FeatureManager that contains the first error.

Components are assembled with various mate types. The

"
Standard Mate types are:

• Coincident: Locates the selected faces, edges, or planes so they use the same infinite

line. A Coincident mate positions two vertices for contact.

• Parallel: Locates the selected items to lie in the same direction and to remain a

constant distance apart.

• Perpendicular: Locates the selected items at a 90° angle to each other.

• Tangent: Locates the selected items in a tangent mate. At least one selected item

must be a conical, cylindrical or spherical face.

• Concentric: Locates the selected items so they can share the same center point.
