How to hang an object from a point

[danETKQ8]

I have a steel casting that is an odd shape and requires painting. Is there a way to see how a part will hang from a point (simulating a hook) so I can determine if it will hang and how much space it will take up when hanging from the point?

Hi,

Without seeing the parts it is not possible to give any clues.
Please share the file.

Here is the part. I colored a surface red showing where I want to hang the part from.

Use info function to locate center of gravity.  Draw a construction line from that point to to point you want to hang from then constrain the line vertical.
