I have turned on the "Weight" column in Assembly navigator, but it is blank. How can I display the weights of my components?

File -> Options -> Save Options...
...option 'Generate Weight Data', then there should be a value listed in your Assembly Navigator.
Note that you can toggled this option ON for all files by going to...
Customer Defaults -> Analysis -> Weight Management -> All[/b]

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

The reason I am asking is because now I am getting the weight of the assembly by putting a "body measurement" feature in there and getting it from the expression - but if there is a way to bypass that it would be nice.

You would need to do the assembly analysis and assign the result to an attribute to put it on a drawing.
That's how we used to do it. Unless NX can capture the values automatically in attributes.
When threaded holes first came out in V14, all the data was in the model, but the drafting side had no way to use that data in a drawing.

Technically, I can get access to the file but it requires some paperwork. As we create drawings, I have a feeling that we are going to find a dozen or so files that need a material assigned. I prefer to avoid all that paperwork if possible.
