centroid problem
(OP)
Can anyone tell away of showing the centroid in a drawing I am able to bring it up in the graphics area using mass. when I use it in the graphics area I don't no were the coordinates are from and its even harder to find when I am in an assembly, it would be a great help this was possible.






RE: centroid problem
In the drawing use the Inset > Model Items function with the Reference Geometry > Center Of Mass option selected.
Dimensions can then be placed from the 'marker' to wherever they are needed.

In SW12 the Mass Properties tool will state where the CoM is located and you will have to place a 3D Sketch Point at those coordinates.
Or you could use one of the macro's from www.sw.fcsuper.com

NOTE: The macro's are not associative so will not be updated if the model is altered.
