(OP)
Is there a way to being the center of gravity out of the assembly into the draft?

Thanks,

RE: Center of Gravity

To display the CM on a drawing view:
1- Right-click and go to the Properties on the drawing view;
2- Go to the Display tab;
3- Click on the Parts List Options button on the upper area, above the Parts
List box.
4- Click Show All. You will see the Center of Mass appear on the list.
5- Click the Center of Mass on the list. Click Show on the options to the
right.
6- Click ok and Update your views. The CM will show as a small dot so you can
create geometry to define it better if you want to.
7- If your drawing is busy and you are having problems to find it, try this:
8- Return to the Display tab of the DV Properties dialob box.
9- Click on the Center of Mass on the Parts List box
10- Click on the Highlight Selection command (it is the one with the
eyeglasses icon).
11- Move the dialog box away from your drawing view so you see it.
12- Click and un-click the Highlight Selection command to make the CM point
turn red/black until you locate it on the view. Use that point to create any
geometry that marks the CM.
