Update Mass Property in browser tree

If you add the mass properties to the browser tree, (setting/tree
columns/Pro_MP_mass), how do you get the mass to update after a model
change ?

I've tried regen and also toggled the config optin
"mass_property_calculate" to "calculate" and ""by request", but this
option must be for something else.

Any help would be greatly appreceited.

From PTC KB:

Use the MASSPROP statement to update mass properties each time
geometry changes. After you have specified parts or assemblies for
which mass properties are to be updated, you can request the current
value of a required parameter through the relations mechanism.

To update mass properties, use the following format:

MASSPROP
PART NAME
ASSEMBLY NAME
END MASSPROP

Note: When specifying the model for which mass properties are to be
calculated, enter the model name without an extension.

The MASSPROP statement can contain the IF... ELSE clause. If you add a
condition to the MASSPROP statement, the mass properties of an object
will be calculated only if that condition is met.

 

By the way, this applies to the model program accessible through 'Tools>Program'.
