Physical (Mass) Autolimit

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug but I thought I would bring some attention to it.  I have applied a Mass Autolimit to a part as well as a couple dimension limits.  When dimensions are updated and reflect numbers outside of the limits I have set, the graphics and limit itself update immediately.  If I change the weight of the model by adding/removing material with an extrusion for example, the mass limit updates immediately.  If I change the physical material from say Aluminum to Steel, the graphic for the limit does not update and the weight in the limit dialog box displays the previous weight.  Both do not update until I "Refresh" the autolimits.

 

I am running:

Hi! The behavior is not right. It does look like a bug to me. It seems that AutoLimits (Mass) does not react to change in material immediately when it should. Rebuild All after changing material does help force the values in AutoLimits (Mass) to be current.

I will forward this issue to development for further investigation.

Many thanks!
