Creating Mates in Large Design Review
When you edit assemblies in Large Design Review mode, you can create mates between components and use geometry types as mate references. These mates and mate references are available when you open the assembly in lightweight or resolved mode.
Supported mate types:

You can use the following geometry types as mate references for any component in the assembly:
| Arc edges | Conical faces | Cylindrical faces |
| Linear edges | Planar faces | Vertices |
Creating Mates to Reference Geometry
You can create standard mates that reference the reference geometry. These mates are saved in the top-level assembly. To use this functionality, save the assembly in SOLIDWORKS 2020 and later.
You can Hide or Show reference geometry in the top-level assembly and components.
