Center of gravity

Center of gravity

Center of gravity

(OP)
Is it possible to show the center of gravity of a part (.psm) in a draft?

RE: Center of gravity

Hi,

yes it's possible but it's shown as tiny dot only:

- select view's properties
  - select the Display tab
    - select the part on the left and do an RMB
      = select show coordinate systems
      - select the coordinate system item and
        on the right activate Box Show
        
 - back to the view do an update on the view
 
 The 'dot' can be referenced in dimension a.s.o.

It's 'Center of Mass'.

You'll need to update Physical Properties in the Part/Psm file first for dy's suggestion to work.

Also,

You can use 'draw in view', and draw a 'circle by center' that is connected to the tiny dot making it suddenly much more visible !
