Is there a callout command for total weight in an assy?

 
Hi,

huh? In a draft it's %{Mass|R1} ... in an .asm you cann
use it too or obtain it from Inspect --> Phys. Properties

I've used two different methods and gotten two different results. I used Physical Properties to get one value & then used Reports and gotten a different value. Anybody know why these wouldn't agree?
 
Hi Lumpy,

this could be caused by some parts that don't have their material set. In Physical properties these parts get a 'standard' density. I assume this will not be so in reports.

Thanks Schipperus for this response and think that may be what is going on.

Thanks again,
Lumpy
