Getting Mate Errors With Subassemblies

[xRCGx]

I'm suddenly constiently getting mating errors in my assemblies, especially in subassemblies. Generally I make no change to the assembly except for a rebuild. The current file I'm working on I havn't had worked on for over a week, and when I last closed it the assembly had no errors and worked fine. Now upon opening it the assembly has multiple errors, one such error occured in a subassembly. The subassembly is a hinge set to flote and I'm getting an error with the two mates of the subassembly, one side is fully defined in the assembly and the other side has no mates other than in the subassembly. When I open up the subassembly there are no errors, and there are also other instances of the same subassembly, mated the same way, that do not have these errors. I know no one else had touched the file, and the only difference I can think of is that I installed SP2.

Before you closed the file did you do a Ctrl-Q? If not then the problems were probably there you just didn't see them. The rebuild light is not enough, it only rebuilds the last operation. a Ctrl-Q rebuilds the entire assembly/part. When you open it up essentially a ctrl-Q is performed and now you are seeing what you probably would have seen if you had done a Ctrl-Q before closing the assembly a week+ ago.
