have a center of gravity question.
How does one locate the center of gravity on a part? I can get the xyz
coords from properties for the center of gravity once my material is selected,
but how do I translate that to the actual part?
Is there a symbol or some other identification that would actually show
where the center of gravity is on the model or is this something that is
detailed in the IDW? Note, we are not ready to detail yet, but are trying to
pass on some information to engineering as to where the CG is located.
If there is another thread that speaks to this issue, point me in that
direction.
thanks,

There is a center of gravity tool but it won't
propagates to the IDW. The way you can do it is to get the COG from the
properties menu and the use a grounded workpoint and start at the origin and
enter the x,y,z offsets. This places a workpoint at the COG. Then
in the IDW you can check the option (get workfeatures) and the workpoint will
show up.
This does not dynamically update
however.

Try to find out when that part will fall of the
cliff are you? <g> That would be nice. I'd also like it to
be able to be shown directly in the IDW (and hence it would
update)
