I'm trying to balance a rotating assembly. I have frozen features... When I click Mass Properties, I get a warning dialog saying:
! The model needs update.
! ! Please rebuild the moded to calculate mass properties.
{please pretend the exclamation 3 points above are actually 1 big exclamation point in a yellow triangle }
No anount of rebuilding will make the dialog go away... But the dialog is stupid. I must select a part -- any part but not the assembly -- click Mass Properties then delete the selected part in the list and click recalculate with an *empty* list. The list is repopulated with "Assem1.sldasm" them the mass properties are displayed.
I've been dealing with minor bugs like this in silence for FAR TOO LONG!!!
Please don't ask me if I have the latest graphics driver, or how much memory my PC has, because none of those questions are relevant to BUGS in the code base.
Please tell you VAR or the knuckleheads at SolidWorks Development to get off their asses and FIX THEIR PRODUCT!
Oh, and with Feature freeze I'm getting the cute but useless Assembly Expert error message:
"Because of in-context relationships, 22 components take -2147483648% of the total rebuild time.
What are the chances this will be fixed by 2012 SP5?
