Comments

• Incident Diagnosis:
  The "Material" knwoledge parameter remains
  valuated to 'none' after deletion of the applied
  material.
  That status of the knowledge parameter is a valid
  one. It enables the user to re-apply a material later
  just by changing the value of the parameter
  from 'none' to 'brass' for instance. There is even an
  option in settings that enables to create all parts
  with a material parameter valuated to none.
  If that parameter disturbs the user he/she can use
  a setting to prevent its display in specification tree.
  After deleting a material that parameter cannot be
  removed as it may be used in formulas.
  .
  Correct Application:
  The knowledge parameter is kept and valuated
  to 'none' after material deletion
