Shaft Mass in iproperties

The Design Accelerator Shaft Component Generator calculates the mass of a shaft. But, I don't see it in the iproperties of the shaft or it's assembly. I'd like to see it there so that my field text in my drawing title block will show it automatically.

Are your members of your ipart generated?  Where in the assembly are you not seeing them?  In your parts list?

Can you post images of your titleblock in edit mode so I can see what properties are linked to your mass text?

Can I assume that it is the part properties and then the mass pushed into the text?

I am not working on an ipart; all parts have iProperties. I am working on a shaft which is the only component of an assembly. I was confused because the shafts iProperties' Physical tab's Material box was grayed out. To do what I want to do I need to: - Edit (my shaft) with Design Accelerator - in the Calculations tab select a shaft material. The mass is then shown in that tab. Click OK. - right click the shaft and select iProperties, and the Physical tab - click Update; the mass and other properties appear. - click OK. The assembly's iProperties are automatically updated also. The mass now appears in my drawing title block
