.NET: How to fetch mass and volume properties out of a part?

.NET: How to fetch mass and volume properties out of a part?

.NET: How to fetch mass and volume properties out of a part?

(OP)
I've built a .NET (C#) program to load different frames to a drafting sheet, depending on the type of part (mechanical, optics, plastics, aso.). The frames content text fields wich are filled by the user. One text field ist the mass property and an other one is the volume property of the part.
have you an idea how to get these properties out of the Part and store it into string variables?

Do i have to use the MassPropertiesBuilder for that?
or - is there another way to get these properties?

many thanks

Markus

What version of NX are you using?

Do you have a body measurement that you are trying to read, or are you trying to access the system controlled attributes (or something else)?

(OP)
I'm using NX 8.5 and want to access the system controlled properties.

I think the function you need is UF_WEIGHT_ask_props.
