Hi Everyone,
I recently encountered this issue.
The company are using Creo3.0 with Windchill.
A part doesn't have a proper mass for some reason. ( The report is not set to generate automatically.) I checked out the part, manually updated mass property by click the "Calculate..." button in "Mass Properties". Then I uploaded the part to check in. Now here is the problem, Windchill told me that was an unmodified part, I simply cannot check that part in.
So what I did, I change one of the parameters of the part (Just a random parameter). Since I didn't want to change anything of the part except the mass info, I changed the parameter back to its original value. Now Windchill though that was a modified part.
I really don't understand. When I changed mass info., that was actually changed the part, Windchill think it was unmodified. And the back and forth change of parameter doesn't really change anything, it think it was modified. Why?
So basically there are two questions.
1 Why Windchill doesn't recognize the change of mass properties?
2 Why does rewriting the parameter with same value make it different part?
