Using Check-Mate for out-of-date Body Measurements?
Using Check-Mate for out-of-date Body Measurements?
(OP)
We're looking to begin using Check-Mate on our models, and we're trying to do so step-by-step. One check we'd like to consider is to have Check-Mate locate out-of-date Body Measurements. I've browsed the list of available tests and can't find one that will discover out-of-date Body Measurements. I've tried "Report Out-of-Date Features" and "Check Weight Data Up To Date", among others, and nothing seems to work on the body measurement. 
I've attached a small image to show the specific error I'm trying to capture.

Side note: the associative measure body is a feature in the part history and should update any time the model is changed. It should technically never be "out of date"; but it may throw an alert or error condition.

RE: Using Check-Mate for out-of-date Body Measurements?
I've tried using the Check-Mate test labelled, "Check Weight Data Up To Date", but it always reports an error, regardless of the Body Measurement status. I believe it's because we don't have the "NX Advanced Assemblies" license which allows for Weight Management data to be cached in the part file. So this test is not appropriate for catching the Body Measurement status.
Failed -- There is no weight management data cached in the part file, or the cached data is out-of-date.

Thanks for all your feedback. I think we'll just have to add it to a manual checklist of things to watch out for before releasing our models.
