Creo Parametric 10.0.4.0

Problem: With implemented auto assignment of material for new parts, Using the create workpiece option the material assigned does not have a density assigned. With company wide standard config option "mass_property_calculate automatic" a notification about Outdated Mass Properties is displayed and adds time to resolve.

  1. No option to define template when creating a new Workpiece in NC.
  2. No option to assign a Default density on newly created parts for workpiece.
    1. You can create Solid parts, assign density and reuse those part for workpiece using “Assemble Workpiece”.  This is NOT a good solution takes longer to perform. 
  3. Default material PTC_SYSTEM_MTRL_PROPS is not accessible to change.  
  4. Article CS160794, incorrectly defined a way to use a template during creation. This only applies to Mold. This is very sad that this option has been available in Mold but not in NC for a very long time.
