Parts List and Total Assembly Weight

Does anyone know how I can get my parts list to show a total weight?
Obviously, getting the weight of each part into the parts list is easy.
However, I have not been able to find a way to automatically get a total
weight for the entire assembly. Thanks for the help.

I don't think you can get that in the bom right now. You can get the total
weight from the iProperties of the assembly and then manually place it on
the drawing.

What I did to get the total weight was to make another parts list with only two columns-Material and Mass. I grouped the items by Material so they rolled up and then formatted the mass column to substitute for mass and show the sum of values. The result is one row for each material and the total mass of that material. I have only one material in my assembly so it turns out to be my total weight.

I've tried this but my total mass does not show up in my parts list.

If all you are concerned about is total mass.. Just pull it from the assembly iproperty like A.Kirk said above..

No need to mess with the parts list.
