Disable "Mate Xpert"

Sigh...So much for "Enhancement". The MateXpert is about to send me through the roof. I can't control the thing when I try to flip alignment of a mate. It ends up causing more issues than I ever had without it. As far as I'm concerned, scrap the MateXpert and just keep the RMB selections to "Flip Alignment" and "Flip Dimension". Or at least allow the user to control which mates will flip or something. There's no rhyme or reason to which ones it will change. It goes so far as to flip a mate that I'm unsuppressing and other mates I've already setup that do not conflict, after I've already setup the other mates that I want, correctly with no conflicts. I've destroyed more assy's in seconds than I've had it save me time!

Which leads to the question! Anyway to disable the MateXpert?

This probably should work like the sketchxpert does and give you several working solutions to choose from. Instead it just gives you "a" working solution.

Just had a long discussion with VAR. It is covered in the advanced assembly class. The help is sorely lacking and there is a bit of documentation in What's New.

Eek. Scary content in here. IMO, there should be an option to disable it somewhere... if not, they're quickly going to drive the old-school users insane.
