-;Q~ Organize the Mates names.

Rename Mate names with

descriptive names for clarity.

You can set an option in the Mate

PropertyManager so that the first component you select

from becomes transparent. Then selecting from the

second component is easier, especially if the second

component is behind the first. The option is supported

for all mate types except those that might have more

than one selection from the first component ( width,

symmetry, linear coupler, cam, and hinge).
