Is there a better Workflow to correct Mate Errors?

I can't understand why it takes so mant mouse clicks to correct/delete mate errors:

 

1) Select the Red Cross

2) Select the offending mate

3) Select Next

4) Select Next

5) Edit/Delete mate

6) Finish

7) Accept any other errors

😎 Repeat above.

 

Is there a more simplified way of edditing/deleting mate errors?

While there are many ways to skin this cat, I do something like this:

 

  1. Switch to modeling view
  2. Expand the constraints node and scroll down to find unhealthy mates
  3. Right click, edit any mates marked as unhealthy. Click OK, then...
  4. Accept errors, repeat as necessary

It isn't a silver bullet, but it saves clicks (next, next..) with the design doctor each time around.
