Place with iMates Angle

Hello,

 

I'm trying to make placement of standard components easier for a company

I've added 3 iMates:

- centerline mate (centerline at end of conveyorbelt)

- midplane mate

- Groundplane Angle

 

Centerline fixes position, leaving axial and radial movement

Midplane blocks axial movement

Then angle blocks radial movement

 

When I do it without adding the 3 iMates to an iComposite:

When I add the 3 iMates to an iComposite and place the components in an assembly using iMates:

Looking at the iMate properties in the assembly:

Looking at the imate properties inside the parts:

When using iComposite, it is undirected, and if I press "G" for free move, I can rotate the part and then it snaps correctly: Confirming solution = undirected.

 

There is no option in iMate to choose directed or undirected, and when I look in the iMate, it says directed.

 

Plz autodesk tell me what is going on here
