hi, im really new here and would like to know how to determine the volume of the solid that i just created. First i already tried the MASSPROP command however i am having a difficulty in determining the volume. It gives me this but the thing is, what is 1.5648E+12?
¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.

Hi,
>> what is 1.5648E+12? <<
this is the Scientific type of units. you can change it from -UNITS command to another type.

Apart from what Imad has suggested, you should clarify your model scale because technically speaking, models should be drawn 1:1 scale all time in model space.
This will give you a real volume when you measure the model.
You then set desired scale on layout with viewports for your drawing.
FYI Place drawing title block and drawing boarder on layouts.

I see this is marked solved, but there are many incorrect or misleading statements in this thread.
Scientific (exponential) notation is not a system of units.
It is a method of writing numbers (especially very large or very small numbers).
If you are not familiar with Scientific Notation, I recommend that you shut down AutoCAD for a bit of time and do some research on this as it is probably a pretty important concept in any design field. Even if you never use very large or very small numbers in your work - you should at least instantly recognize when a value is given in exponential notation. To not recognize this can lead to significant errors.
The command -units does not change the document units (except for option 3 or 4) as noted on the command line.
Use the -dwgunits command to set appropriate document units.
