Hi, I have a pump set drawing which consist of individual pump ga, gearbox ga and motor ga. Currently, I only have motor GA and requesting for pump ga to be produced.

My issue, would that be possible to calculate pump set CG given individual location of CG ?

Would that be possible to calculate pump set CG using 2 Dimension Autocad ?
 
Yes you can calculate the CG from the data given (magnitude, and location of each force). Google something to the effect of "Procedure of Determining Combined Center Of Gravity Of Objects," and I'm sure you can come up with something. This is a trivial engineering question.

Note that this is not a pump question and this would explain why you have not received any replies.
