Weight Calc Question
Weight Calc Question
(OP)
I am using cement blocks in an assembly and corresponding assy drawing to show how a product is installed to the block wall. The problem is with the automatically generated weight in the title block. SW is including the cement blocks. Is there a way to have the weight calculation exclude certain items from the feature tree? Removing the blocks from the drawing is not an option.
Thanks,
Drake

If you wish that your assembly does see certain components' weight, you can exclude the components from the bill of materials. Or, you can model your cement blocks as envelope parts (weightless part).

That idea did the trick. Thanks to everyone who replied and hopefully this info was useful to more than just me.
