Mass Properties
This information
is specific to one or more CAD systems. See the SolidWorks eDrawings functionality matrix
for availability information.
You can display mass properties for CAD files or eDrawings part and
assembly files. You can also set the units and precision for calculating
the mass properties. In assemblies, the properties are calculated for
the complete assembly, not individual components.
To display mass properties:
-
Click Mass Properties or Tools, Mass
Properties.
The Mass Properties dialog
box lists:
Under Length unit, specify:
Length unit for calculating the properties.
Corresponding mass units are used (grams with millimeters, pounds with
inches, etc.)
Decimal places (0 to 8) for precision
of the values.
The mass properties update dynamically.
Click OK.
