Mate connector not showing up in assembly?
I have a weird problem, and I can't tell if it's a bug, or user error. I had a part with a mate connector as the third feature. It shows up just fine in the part, but in the assembly, it doesn't show. The owner part of the MC is the part that I'm inserting. I just tried moving the MC feature to the end of the tree, and now it shows up in the assembly as expected.
The part goes through some split and boolean add features along the way. Is this MC behavior because of the part IDs? Is this expected behavior?

There is a determinism issue with part IDs when there are lots of splits and booleans. We are investigating how to make it more robust, but for now it is what it is.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI1

Perhaps having split create two parts with the same name is confusing for the user (i.e. me), since it's not clear which one has actually kept the internal ID from prior to the split. If I had a clear indication which one had inherited the ID, I could be more careful about downstream features.
