No,
If you notice, one of the two bends in the same direction has a line and the other one doesn't. and there are no passive elements.

Why is the automatic mate reversed?
Hi Guys,
I've had it in mind for a while now that I wanted to research it today.
I use automatic mate during assembly, but most of the time the mate is reversed. I can't redirect mates completely randomly.
Is there a method for this?
