Solidworks automatically reversing mates

Hi,
Sometimes, when I am adding mates in an assembly; Solidworks getsoverly helpful and reverses mates for me.. whether I want it to ornot. I get a message:

"The alignment of the following mates was reversed to prevent mateerrors:"

Most of the time SW guesses wrong and reverses mates that i wantleft alone.. is there a way to get SW to ask me:

"The alignment of the following mates "should be reversed" reversed to prevent mate errors,do you want to do this?:"

Most of the time I have to spend time figuring out how to get backto where I was before SW tried to help me out. Is there an optionsomewhere to shut this automatic reversing off? or to get it to askbefore it makes the change for me? I've looked for an answer tothis in other threads but couldn't find it, if another threadcovered this please point me to that one. Thanks.
