Assembly Cut and the Damage Done

Don't add any columns to your family table that will change based on the effects of the assembly level cut (like calculated mass.)

Realize that assembly cuts create "hidden" family tables out of the affected components which means for the purposes of the repeat region these are unique models with different masses.

Overall, if you mean for that cut to exist in the actual part rather than only in the context of the assembly, then I would avoid using an assembly cut. Assembly cuts only affect the particular component placement that it directly cuts. You can use the options in the cut to have it affect that actual part and then in your example they both would have the hole but in general that's where I'd try to avoid the assembly cut to begin with.

Hi all!

 

Please see attached.

 

Read notes in PDF.

 

Anyone ever deal with this?

 

This is not isolated to just this case. It can be duplicated from scratch.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

in part properties you can change the method how its weight (and other properties) is obtained. By default weight is calculated by Creo (in this case your two components have different weight). You can set part mass properties to fully assigned, this means that you assign fixed value to mass parameter (in this case both components have the same weight and in repeat region they "fall" into the same row).
