So, I notice that width quick mates aren't working in SW 2022 (sp4).

Here is my process:
CTRL select the 2 planar surfaces that I want to center the cylinder on.
CTRL select the cylinder.
The width quick mate appears: I select it and the the confirmation box appears: Hitting the green check does NOT create a mate....nor does it move any components into place. It simply does nothing. No matter what button I push on the confirmation, nothing happens.....

The workaround is to go the old fashioned way and select the mate command, select the width mate and then select the 3 items. That works...

But the quick mate doesn't.

Can anyone else confirm this with SW 2022?

I tested it in Sw2022 sp5. it worked. maybe that fixed it in sp5.
i did the same as you did and did it in both directions. mated a round block on top of a square block.

Dan,

I rarely use the Width mate, but I just tested (SW2022 sp 4.0), and got the same results you did.

Has the Width mate worked for Quick Mates in previous versions?

Yes, the width quick mate between a cylinder and 2 planar surfaces has always worked....even in SW 2018.

So it got broke. Although it looks like it is fixed in SW 2022 sp5

Thank you for the confirmation.
