part change requires revision of assembly?

$

We are using Windchill 9.1 and WF5.0.

 

A user has an assembly consisting of a guard door, a hinge, and a frame.   The hinge is mounted to the frame and the door is mounted to the hinge.  All parts are checked into PDM in the RELEASED state (read only in our world).

 

The user revises the guard door to move the mounting holes.  This is done by editing a dimension, so all the references are the same.   The part updates and is checked back into PDM and goes through our standard process to get promoted back to the RELEASED state.

 

Upon opening the assembly, the assembly indicates that it is modified and wants to be regened.   We want to get the assembly happy, but we don' t want to have to create a revision of the assembly just because the door changed.   The assembly still consists of the same parts assembled in the same manner.

 

I believe I have all mass property calcs turned off for the assembly.

 

Any thoughts on how to prevent having to create a revision of the assembly just because a part was modified (causing parts to move around in the assembly)?
