Does the Introduction to Assembly Design Tutorial have the incorrect Center of Mass?

ken_bolandken_boland Member Posts: 3 EDU
I have been trying to complete the Introduction to Assembly Design Tutorial for 2 days. I retried it 5 times, trying to get the correct Center of Mass for the Universal Joint Flange. I finally decided to click an answer and then I see there is a Public Document I can check. When I checked the Public Document, the Center of Mass for the Universal Joint Flange does not match any of the answers in the self-check quiz. It did however, match the Center of Mass that I was finding for my attempts. I think the answers to the Self-Check question at the end need to be updated. See screen captures of the self-check quiz and the Center of Mass for the Universal Joint Flange that can be selected in the Public Document.

    @ken_boland I believe you are correct- I think this has to do with the tolerances but I went ahead and changed the answers in the self-check question.
