Mate needs to change direction in different configs

Hi all:

I have an assembly with two configurations. Two components aremated with a distance mate. The distance and direction of the matemust change bewteen the two configurations. I know how to set thedistance value to be different in each configuration, but can'tfigure out how to switch the direction.

Right now, I work around it by using two different mates, with onlyone resolved per configuration. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
