Steps to Duplicate:

-Start NX and open 130866_A.prt

-This part is coming from I-deas and has been migrated through CMM

-Despite the fact that the part already has a Material assigned and that the material

exists in the Site MatML library, the Mass is not correct, the units are not good 7820kg/mm3

-If we try to manually assign the same material (it should be automatic according to customer)

NX raises a message saying that the material already exists.

-There is no way to link this assigned material to the existing material in the library. This is cumbersome.

-The only way is to remove usage, delete the material, assign it again. This is very time consuming

when migrating thousand of parts data from I-deas and should be fixed or enhanced at least.

See movie AssignMaterial.avi for steps to duplicate and for clarification.
