Show center of gravity on idw (Inventor 11)

(OP)
Hi,

Inventor 11,
I need to show center of gravity for a assembly on the idw.
Are there any easy way to do this?

RE: Show center of gravity on idw (Inventor 11)

I realize it's been some time since this post but here is the only way I found to work around this.

Move the part so the origin is at the center of gravity. Then place a feature of a sphere of very small dimension (sphere won't change COG) at the origin. You will be able to dimension to the sphere unless it is totally imbedded within the part.
