Help putting volume in family tree.

Windows XP Wildfire 3.0


I've been tasked with determining the inner volume of a part, a part in which we have about 300 variations of... and I'm being asked to open and model check ever single one. Something that I'm hoping I won't have to do. I made a relation to parameter, (volume=pro_mp_volume()) and put that parameter in the family table that controls all the part variations. Opened up the family table, verified, and received the same value for all entries. I assume this came from each part not getting its own analysis, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Set following config.pro option:
mass_property_calculate = automatic (By default it is ON REQUEST)

If you don't want to change that option, you have to open each instance and calculate mass property for each instance to reflect correct value in family table.

s_pme20 thanks for the help I'll try that out, I started just opening each... Brutal!

It will require a regeneration of each instance to populate the family table with the correct values. Not sure if there is a workaround.

Worked out great, saved me a lot of time!
