Summary


Details

The user utilises other assemblies and parts in their own assembly e.g. as a layout for their design.  However they do not want the mass of these to be included in their own assembly.  

It seems that the only way to do this is to open the assembly's Occurrence Properties and then individually select the Physical Properties for each occurrence to be excluded and set it to 'No'.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Solution

User needs to change one field of the Physical Properties from 'Yes' to 'No', then copy the 'No' value (ctrl-C), select all the cells in the column that are at 'Yes' for which the user wants to exclude the mass:


Then paste the value (ctrl-V):

Hit 'Apply' and 'OK' - the mass properties are now excluded from the assembly.
