    mass properties problem

    Thanks Artem, it works great! I wonder if that means the main reason my original code didn't work was a casting problem? Funny way to express itself. Thanks for the help, I've been banging my head against this one for far too long. --Tyler

    Hello, I'm trying to write a C# program to get the mass properties of a selected subassembly in a large assembly. I thought I was following the documentation properly, but I run into one of two problems: the "AddBodies" function for a mass property object throws an exception if I use the...
