Using 2014 and VBA with an open assembly. 

I am looking through mates and finding mates that are of inplace type and have a certain matecomponentname.

Once the correct conditions are met then I would like to be able to select and delete the mate.  If I know the name of the mate then

it can be selected using selectbyid2.  Problem is I can't seem to get to the mate's name (for example "InPlace1").. there must be an easier way to get the right mate and delete it?

            Mates = thisComponent.GetMates()

            If (Not IsEmpty(Mates)) Then

                For Each SingleMate In Mates

                    If TypeOf SingleMate Is SldWorks.Mate2 Then

                        Set swMate = SingleMate

                        typeOfMate = swMate.Type
