Center of Gravity Question

I need to know how to calculate the weight distribution of a load on a
trailer with a single axle. I thought figuring from the COG would be a good
place to start. Well I can't seem to figure out where the COG origin point
is compared to my assembly.?? Any help would be appreciated.

If you're looking for the X,Y,Z coordinates hover your mouse over the COG
symbol and the coords will appear. This will be in relation to your
Assembly orgin. If you're looking for the COG of a part in an assembly find
the COG coords relative to your part orgin, and then relate it using the
Offset from Parent Assembly Orgin for that occurance in the assembly.

The COG 2.0 add-in available on sdotson.com or cbliss.com enables you to
track the COG position of an assembly relative to any point in the assembly.
