The mass value is wrong calculated if you change the simplified representation of a single part

The mass value is wrong calculated if you change the simplified representation of a single part (for example: switching chamfer of a part on/off).

Hi Steven,

have you really switched between two simplified representations to get the weight difference?

If I calculate the weight new, the weight will be the same with or without chamfer.

Yes, I'm talking about using View Manager.

I don't see the possibility here to upload the model.

Where exactly? I see only the possibility for new comments ...

OK, I added the 3D-model under : http://communities.ptc.com/thread/57858

I am not sure how it works with part, in assembly i am using force_upd_assem_mp_in_simp_rep option

look at this

[abrocke]

Yes, thats what I'm saying...

PTC told me, that this functionality is not available in creo parametric 2.0 and I have to create here an idea. They mean, we should use a family table instead, but this is not what we want to use in our company. We don't want to create for a part two numbers in Windchill, because the part is used in a weld assembly and for us it is the same part with or without weld preperation like a chamfer. So, any idea to solve the problem, maybe with a different functionality ?
