Not able to see subassembly while using "view mates"

Alrighty guys,

I have a subassembly assembled into the main assembly.  I want to modify its offset mate so as to reposition the subassembly in the top assembly.  Move it just a little further in one direction.  When I go to modify the dim and do a view mate and pick the particular constraint the whole subassembly disappears and does not cdome back until I exit out of view mates.  How do I get the sub to stay visible while I modify the mate and watch the sub dynamically move as I edit the dim that i want?

Please help.

Thanks

Sid
