You can display mass properties for CAD files (except SOLIDWORKS 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.
This information is specific to one or more CAD systems. See the eDrawings Functionality Matrix for availability information.
To display mass properties:
- Click Properties
or .The Mass Properties pane lists:
| Material |
|
| Density |
If a material is not specified, density is assumed to be 1.00 grams per cubic millimeter. |
| Mass |
|
| Volume |
|
| Surface area |
|
- Specify:
- Units 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.
- To release the Properties tool, click it again.
