What is this symbol in my model?

Hello everyone, I was working on an assembly and an odd symbol appeared at some point that I do not understand. What does it denote? How can I get rid of it? Any help is appreciated!

    That's two icons, the circular one is a mate connector, the other is an actual mate. K key to hide the former and I believe J key for the other. If I've got that wrong then there's a key list under the help menu.

    Thanks Owen. Hitting J and K caused a whole bunch of mates to show up (and then disappear upon hitting the same key again). But it did not affect this symbol(s) at all. Still a puzzle...

    Hi @saurabh_tewari

    I took a look at the link and I don't see the symbol you're talking about:


    To me, in your original picture, it looks like a mate connector with a graphical bug (possibly something to do with transparency on the inner part of the mate connector itself).  Is this still happening for you?  What operating system and browser are you using? Does this page report any problems:

    Hi, sorry about the delay. Yes, it is still there but since it is absent in your system, I am ok with it. The compatibility check looks good for my browser (Firefox on Windows 7).

    Does it show up if you open this document on Chrome?
