Lock Mates Don't - Why?

All

I wanted to get into using lock mates since they appear to savetime and size. But . . . seems if I suppress the mate and move thepart, unsuppressing the mate doesn't bring the item back to thelock position.

That may be a good thing if you have one configuration, so youadjust your assembly without deleting and re-creating the mate. Butwith additonal configurations, this is a problem. I want to have anitem lock in one place in config 1 and lock in another postion inconfig 2. That doesn't work.

Any technique around this? Anyone agree it ought to workdifferently?SolidworksAssemblies
