Is there a way to display the center of mass (cm) and center of volume (cv) in a draft?

RE: Display cm cv in a draft?

Hi,

at least in V18 (Center of Mass):
  select the view
  RMB --> Properties
   -- Card --> Display
      there Button 'Parts List Options'
      Click 'List Coordinate Systems'
  - Select --> Center of Mass
    on the right --> activate Show (leave Reference Options unchecked)
    
 Quit with OK
 Back in Draft click 'Upadte Views'
 
 But you will hardly see it -- it's a just tiny little dot, which however
 can be used in dimensioning ... I don't know who designned that feature sad

you can create special style of the line (very thick or coloured) and add this style to the Coordinate system/Center of mass feature in the Drawing View Properties/display window...
