Is there a way to write the value from Mass Properties to MText or an Attribute?
What I would like to do is have mass properties calculate the volume of a 3D solid and at a minimum display the cubic inches in a text string. Ultimately I would like to use this value to calculate the material weight of a 3D object.
Does anyone know an out-of-box solution?

Hi @Anonymous,
The only way I have ever been able to do this is by running MASSPROP and saving the results to an MPR file. Then I open that file in notepad, copy, and then paste into Mtext in AutoCAD.
This can be a lot of steps. Perhaps a post in the Customization Forum will give you a better solution.

Not out-of-the-box but you can use fVolume or fArea>Object (free) to make a dynamic field reflecting the object's volume. See

Hello
If I remember well, you can use a field with the VOLUME property which is NOT available !
So you Will use for example thé AREA property, copy /paste expression to the Notepad.exe, replace AREA with VOLUME, copy /paste expression again to a NEW MText...
Then with à Formula based on the VOLUME + Density, you Will get Mas...

I used a variation of this; utilizing excel to display multiple values and run my formula for weight. My issue is still running this through another program, but I can work around for now. I am looking at lisp routines for a solution that will output to text directly in autocad.
Thank you for your suggestion and help.
