Figuring Part Weight

Figuring Part Weight

Figuring Part Weight

(OP)
How can I set this up to get at least a volume on a data file so I can figure part weight when quoting parts?  Right now my mass is set to show m3 for volume and kg for weight.  I've looked all thru the help files and it's either not there or I can't find it.  Any help would be appreciated.

RE: Figuring Part Weight

Tools --> Options --> General --> Parameters and Measures --> Units.

Here you can specify what ever units you want.

The other place to look is under the Customize button on the Analysis Panel.  Here you can specify what items you want displayed for an Interia Measure.

RE: Figuring Part Weight

Hi,

in order to have weight, you need a material apply to your Solid. This will give a density, then you will see in the part properties the weight your looking for.
