assembly config option to avoid improper assumption after an insert and mate

Usually an insert and mate do not fully constrain a component unless its a screw or some other little revolved part.

Any other part will require another constraint and this is really obvious to a human but my Creo always seem to assume that an insert and a mate will be just fine, its not.

This will always result in a crooked part and when some other user has assembled in this way the error is not always obvious (until the assembly starts to explode)

Is the answer to just turn off the presumptuous assumption tab somewhere?

Config option:

COMP_PLACEMENT_ASSUMPTIONS NO  (default is yes is why it currently assume placement)

I looked for a toggle in the assembly tab under the options for this but didn't see it in CREO 2. You'll likely have to add the option in the configuration editor.
