Yeah, that would be great to be able to number in a clockwise or some order. Solidworks just drags so damn much I'm outta time to make it pretty. Sadly there's a good shot the guys in the shop won't even open up the assembly drawing. Realistically they'll probably just come ask me rather than...
Here is a screen shot of my window. I looked all through the options menu and couldn't find any settings that looked like it should should be checked/un-checked.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b393c6a7-5916-4af4-b803-62e9a47ba31a&file=Screenshot.bmp
Thanks handleman. I messed with it for a while and acutally had just arrived at that when your post showed-up. I really appreciate the help. I owe you a beer (at least)!!!!!

handleman,
Thanks, you're the man. I'm still having one problem. In Mass Properties it says 6.62 cu in. which seems right. In the equation though I get either .108 with ".Mass" or .000108 with ".Volume". I checked and my units are set to IPS. Is this in a default unit like cubic meters...
Thanks for the reply, unfortuanately that didn't work. I'm thinking I must be inputing the code wrong but I'm not sure how. In the equations I put " "V"= "Application.SldWorks.GetOpenDocument(Hose2.SLDPRT).Extension.CreateMassProperty.Mass" " and it wouldn't evaluate. This has been the...
This is my first thread so bear with me. (You know first long time listener, first time caller) I need to use the mass properties volume in an equation, either a DT or an equation. I need the value to solve for what I'm after. I tried setting up a custom property and useing a design table...
I'm having an issue with this. I also need to get the volume and the surface area from the mass prop. I need these to do a couple of calculations for casting die design. In a DT I only get the text, not the number useing handleman's method and I can't seem to get the numbers to come in to the...
