Linking to the part mass in a drawing

chainley3KEW3 — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 23:52:31 GMT

Is there a way to link to the part mass in a drawing titleblock? I have a part that I am creating a 2D of and I would like to link it so that it updates automatically.

No, there are only a few drawing attributes that monitor the model and Mass in not one of them. You can create a custom attribute but it will have to be MANUALLY updated everything the model mass changes.

Edit: You could have someone do some custom API programming but out of the box, NO.

Hi @chainley3KEW3

I'm just circling back to this request. We implemented several new attributes (including Mass) in the May update, more details here: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/blog/may-2022-product-update-whats-new/#Drawings

I'd love to get your thoughts around this. If you're up for it, here is a link to my calendar, please book a session with me, and we can chat on Zoom. I can also show you some of the new tools that are coming soon.
