Mate Reference feature can be added to frequently used components to automate common mates. Follow the steps to know ‘How to Automatically Repair a Missing Mate Reference’ Step 1 When you right-click on an assembly Mate reference that’s missing or broken, you can select Auto Repair to automatically define a new reference. Step 2 SOLIDWORKS repairs the missing reference by selecting a component reference

In parts and assemblies, you can define coordinate systems by entering absolute numeric values for position and orientation. These values define the position relative to the local origin, and not the global origin.
To know how these numerical defined coordinate systems works follow below steps and videos.
