Stopping Pro E from asking for density

Hello Everyone,

Can some one tell me what option is need to disable to stop pro engineer from asking me to enter the density of parts ? If I open a large assembly comprising of many components, Pro E automatically asks me to enter the density for each of the components. I am using WF4. I think it has to do something with calculating the mass properties automatically but I would like Pro E to only calculate it when requested by the user and not ask me to enter the density for every part.
 
Hello,


I think u r not using pro-e start parts. If u use pro-e start part, add material properties in that part. so automatically it will updatedd in all parts from now onwards. But whatever the parts u have created previously it will not updats,u have to apply manually.


Regards,


Bhanu
 
Check the value of mass_property_calculate in the config.pro but as mentioned above you still need to assign a density or material to your parts.
 
I am actually not looking for Pro E to calculate the mass properties. I just don't want it to keep asking me to enter it whenever I open any part even though I am not asking pro e to calculate the mass properties.
 
In that caseset mass_property_calculate to by_request.
