how can you list all the parts mass from within an assembly?
how can you list all the parts mass from within an assembly?
(OP)
It does not seem possible to list (from mass properties) the individual weights of parts contained within an assembly. This would be particularly useful for checking parts had correct density/mass in large assemblies. I know it is possible to set up a BOM with a mass property but this will cause me problems as the parts do not have mass properties assigned as attributes. Is there no way of changing the format of the data presented in assembly mass properties window to include the parts breakdown? It surly must access this data to calculate the overall mass of the assembly!

The base code for traversing through an assembly is included with SolidWorks (in the API help file and the Visual Basic examples folder located in the SolidWorks installation directory). It ought to be extensible without a much effort.
