In assembly, able to hide default mate connectors but not able to hide created mate connectors. which disturbs a lot. Is there a way to hide them..?

    Soon, part mate connectors in an assembly will turn off very soon.

    It's a known issue.

    You can hide them now if you create them in the Assembly. If they are added in the Part Studio you cannot yet. We are working on this.

    You can hide them now, even if they were created in the PartStudio.  Give it a try.

    Hi @charley below showing how to hide them, I created some mate connectors in Parts Studio and then another one in Assembly:

    Thanks.  Also I figured out you can right click on one in the graphics area and click "hide other mate connectors", and then "hide", to get them all quickly.  A "hide mate connectors" option would be even better.

    Yes charley, I agree.

    'Show all' causes the problem.

    I've asked that 'show all' stop showing mate connectors. Let's see if it get implemented.

    Uh, has anyone noticed that this bug still exists in the Android app?

    you have to hide them all one at a time in app :(

    As a work around: if you open the assembly on a computer and hide them all, they hide in the app as well.

    Even if I hide them manually in the app or in the full browser on the computer, they still show.

    Worse, now certain parts aren't even showing up.  But the connectors do.  There seems to be something badly wrong with assemblies on the Android app.
