dynamic centroid?
(OP)
hello again :)
i was hoping some one could tell me if it is possible to create a poit at the centroid of a shape that will update when the shape changes? i know you can create a point on a surface that will dynamicly update to the center, but i realy need one that can do this to the cnetroid not the center. is it even possible, or would i just need to extract a center of gravity point when ever i change my shape? and honestly, i don't realy know if center of gravity is the save as centroid but it is the closest i could find in catia :P

RE: dynamic centroid?
Be aware that as a standard the measure doesn't change automaticly. You have to update the measure localy or set "Automatic update in Part" in Tools + Options + General + Paramaters and measure, then "Measure tools" bookmark.

You can create a point using the f(x) function, select new parameter of type = point (bottom of list)
then add a formula. Use the Point construction / center of gravity then select your PartBody.
When the PartBody changes the point update by itslef.
