%{Mass|R1} does not show user defined mass

%{Mass|R1} does not show user defined mass

%{Mass|R1} does not show user defined mass

(OP)
Hi everyone,
Using V19 SP9, our draft files read the mass from the model using %{Mass|R1}.
However, it does not work if the mass is user defined.
All we get is "Error: No Reference".
Has anyone else noticed this ?
I'm sure it was ok on previous releases, or am I just imagining that.

RE: %{Mass|R1} does not show user defined mass

Hi bc,

this will happen when the physical properties have *never*
been calculated regardless of it's a user defined mass or
not. To overcome just calculate the phys. props then
checkmark 'user defined' and put in your mass. Now it
will show up in draft.
Apllies to V18/V19/V20

Hi Don,
That's how I thought it would work.
The mass props have been calculated and the user-defined mass entered, but if I leave 'User Defined' checked, it gives the error.
If I uncheck it everything is OK and the mass appears in the draft.

BC,

I've done just did a short test with V19/V20 and did work as
I've described it.

bevor save entered a value for Mass and Volume, OK, Close (no
Update that is calculation not done)
as expected: Draft shows 'Error no reference'

Back into part, uncheck 'user defined', Update, checkmarked
'user defined' and changed the value for Mass back to 100kg, OK, Close
Save and the Draft now displays 100,00Kg

V20 is at SP3 and V19 is at Sp10
