Show Mates

On the context menu, it has a "Show Mates" button, but nothing shows when I click it.
If I however hit the "k" keyboard shortcut, it displays all mate connectors for everything in the assembly.
Why doesn't the context menu button do anything?;)

The context menu "Show mates" shows them for the selected/clicked part.
If the selected object doesn't have any mates, none will be shown.
Pressing j on the keyboard will show/hide all mates for all objects.

As a bonus tip, to quickly see your whole model, you can press f on your keyboard.
Then, to zoom back in, you can press w and select a rectangle that you'd like to zoom to.
