Mass questions
(OP)
Inventor 2008 - What to do so the mass of a part "propagates" to next assy - to next assy etc - to part dwg - to assy dwg.
Have had 5.5 years on Solid Works (till very recently). Know $PRP etc. Now have to use Inventor - 3 day experience.
Thanks for all the answers.

If you "enter" it by icon on the right, it shows up in the window below as <MASS>, but when you finally hit OK and exit that pop up window it shows up in the Title Block (which is still in "edit" mode) as <MASS\P2;>
Now, the drawing template seems to be created by our "parent" company - perhaps this is the problem ??

I guess the error is somewhere earlier - somwhere "between" part and drawing, or perhaps even at the part/assy level ...
RE: Mass questions
Try opening the Assembly\part file that is referenced in the drawing and update the mass. I don't know that I will be of much more help in troubleshooting this if you are using newer software. You might try posting to the Autodesk message board,

and see if you get a better response.
