SW 2016 Mate controller question

Hi All,

Has anyone used the new mate controller function yet?

I haven't installed SW 2016 yet, but I'm interested in this new functionality.

I have read the whats new and watched a few videos, but can't see what I'm looking for.

I use a lot of hydraulic cylinders which are in the main assembly as a flexible sub assembly with a limit mate.

Can the mate controller use the limit mate in the flexible sub assembly, or do the mates have to be at the top level?
