Browse deep into Feature Manager Tree to find entities for mate selection set

Hi Everyone

I often have to browse through several levels of subassemblies to select an entity for mating.

I find this procedure very troublesome, as clicking an entity to search for the correct plane or axis will interfere with mate selection set.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I was hoping that maybe someone had written a macro that allows you to click entities without adding them to the mate selection set before you tell the macro that you are ready to do so.

Regards
