Weight calculation
Weight calculation
(OP)
Hi!
Running NX 5.0.5.3 under TC 2005
We would like to have the weight of the part or assembly written on the drawing and have it associative so changes to the part/assembly reflects in the weight.
However i do not seem to find the attribut for the mass showed under "Display Part Properties" Weight tab if a would like to add it as a text. But when adding a partlist I gain access to the $MASS attribute however now the mass/weight is displayd in metric g not kg.
Ideas anyone?

RE: Weight calculation
Other ways include taking a body measurement and then using an associative note.

RE: Weight calculation
With "Associative Note" do you mean Text->Text Editor-> Relationship Tab-> Object Attribute?
Would that also work if I was to add it to a Drawing Template? (We use Master model concept) or do I need to manually add it to the drawing? The numbers in the attribute "<W!450381@MASS>" seem to change depending on the object a choose..

Sorry I never spelled it out for you. I was being brief because this entire correspondence took place during my sitting in on a three way conference call, Australia, US & Canada. You have to love VOIP!
