Mass Properties Not Updating in Drawing

hello,

 

I know this has been discussed in several different posts and elsewhere online but I haven't been able to find a working solution.  I have several drawings where the mass is not updating.  I am using &PRO_MP_MASS[.2] to indicate the parts mass.  I have the mass_property_calculate set to automatic.  I have tried recalculating the mass properties with file > prepare > model properties > mass properties > calculate > generate report, then regenerating the part and the drawing.  The mass properties report gives the correct mass.  But the mass will not update on the drawing.  I've tried updating my format, ect and nothing has worked.  Am I missing something?  Is there a better way to call mass properties to a drawing? 

 

I have been able to get the mass to update on some parts/drawings but not others.  

 

thanks

Hi,

test your problem on simple model. In case that &PRO_MP_MASS[.2] does not work >>> upload test files.

In case that &PRO_MP_MASS[.2] does work >>> upload problematic drawing+model (problem is specific for it).

Note: I hope that &PRO_MP_MASS[.2] is located in table cell in your format file.

Steps you mentioned should work for you but as it is not working... what is it displaying in drawing? It is displaying &PRO_MP_MASS or the initial value of mass which is not updating. In format file, did you add &PRO_MP_MASS in table cell, if it is as note only, it will not work as expected.
