Maximum Time to Update Center of Mass and Equations

In an active assembly, operations for the center of mass and equations linked to mass properties are updated only when they take 0.5 seconds or less. If the update takes more than 0.5 seconds, the center of mass and equations are marked with , and are not updated until you initiate a rebuild manually.
