Hi Folks

I have a problem here with mass properties on edited SW materials. I have a
part template with material density set to 0.0078g/mm³ (stainless steel). In
some of these parts I added the SW material to get the real view graphic
display. I then regret this and removed that material without checking what
happened to the mass properties. If I now go back and have a look it's set
to 0.001g/mm³ (water) and I can't change it. My changes in the document
properties will not be accepted.
Is there anybody who has an idea about what to do? I normally use DbWorks to
set my materials and densities, but this one act just the same with DbW
unactivate.

SW Office 2005 Sp 0.1
 
This seems to be a bug (or something is changed which I messed) in SW 2005,
I just tried it on another computer in SW2004 and there it works, I can edit
the density in doc props after removing SW material, but opening the same
part again in SW 2005 Sp0.1 and do the same manoeuvre locks the density to 1

I thought I was going crazy as I thought I had already run into this one.
So, I went back through my emails and found where I had submitted it to my
VAR on 9/16/04, but I don't think it made it to SW as I never did find a
reply. So, at least it's now in. Did you get an SPR number on it?

I think this had been discussed before. I don't remember exactly when but
within the last few months.

Nope, but got an answer from SW people here in Sweden later on today that it
should be fixed in Sp 1.0

I had this problem ages ago and reported it to my Var - he had no problems
as he changed the material properties using the material editor in the
Feature Manager, whilst I was trying to edit it using the document options
or with the mass properties options button.
