You are absolutely correct. I had just started working at this place, when my supervisor advised me to download STEP files for quicker throughput. Against my better judgement and years of experience, I did just that. I quickly realized that I had to create a routine to cut the length.
It all worked fine. Until I noticed the Mass wasn't correct in the Parts Table. By this time, I had already created about 150 different cut lengths of slotted and unslotted. These are used used in a multitude of designs now. As you know, reference failure will be a long chase to fix all the places these are used if I decide to use a better model.
On the other hand, I can start fresh on new assemblies with a new adjustable part.
For now, I need to get all these assembly models updated so that the Mass Properties are calculated correctly.
