I'm guessing you want the center of gravity of a part...

Click TOOLS -> MASS PROPERTIES

That will tell you relative to the part origin.

If it is the Centre of Gravity/Mass you need, check out the CG macro at

Just re-read the title...

To display that information in a drawing...

Create CUSTOM PROPERTIES in your part.
Name them (for example): COG-x, COG-y, COG-z

In your drawing, create an ANNOTATION and then LINK TO PROPERTY these CUSTOM PROPERTIES that you created.

Pretty simple once you get the first one figured out.
