I am saying "theory", because I think, to get mass available&nbsp;for PDM you should set up Inventor to calculate physical props on save; this is an option in Inventor application settings.</P> <P>In case you continue to investigate your approach you might find these two steps useful: VDS 2017 has direct access to the Inventor document object. And in Inventor API samples there is the code to activate mass without dirtying flag: search for "Computing mass properties without dirtying document API Sample".&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 28 Sep 2016 11:29:23 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vault-customization-forum/data-standard-get-the-object-mass/m-p/6589053#M8224 Markus.Koechl 2016-09-28T11:29:23Z
