Most of us know of the "300 mates" limitation for assemblies. And we also know that our feature sketches shouldn't be too complicated.

Does anyone know how many sketch segments qualify as being too many? Also, is there a good way of finding the number of sketch segments in a sketch?

About the 300 mates thing, if you break up your assembly into sub-assemblies, are the mates within the sub-assembly included in the total?

No, only the ones that reference the top level planes or top level skeleton/layout sketches.

TheTick, I visited your site, but haven't downloaded anything yet (our IT disallows downloading anything). You have a great sense of humor. It's so hard to find good graphics of mangos. Looking forward to seeing the icons you created.
