Program cut paths turning red

[doc1955]

I would like to ask a question on behalf of our programming department.
In NX 5 when you have a part programmed and our design dept rev’s the part and changes say 1 hole out of 100. Will all cut paths turn red or only the paths associated to the changed geometry? Right now when this is happening all cut paths within the program go red even when no geometry pertaining to the cut path has changed.
We are using NX 5 on a 64 bit platform.
Thanks!

Sounds like those are features of the main part solid. As such the system flags them for regenerating. It does this by design. Now, if you drill say a non-associated point, there would be no update. Don't recall if there's a switch for updating ops or not. Others may have a more detailed explanation.

When the Solid body is defined as the Part Geometry in the Workpiece any changes to the solid will place ALL the operations out of date. The workpiece changes then all the "Child" operation are affected.
