Inventor 2019: Region Properties command calculates wrong centroid

[erling_thingelstad]

I only have Inventor 2019 installed, so this is not tested in 2020. If this is already fixed in 2020, never mind fixing it in 2019, as it is a minor annoyance.
The Centroid calculated by the "Region Properties" command for a sketch seems to only work for sketches in the part's origin XY plane. In the attached example, the centroid is correctly placed on Sketch1 in the XY plane, but in -5,0 on the side of the square for Sketch2 in the XZ plane. My guess is that the centriod is first calculated correctly, and then a bug projects it into the origin XY plane.

PS: I tried to attach the ipt file, but only get an error "The attachment's regionproperties.ipt content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed"

Hi Erling,

We are aware of the issue. It has been fixed on our internal build. We are in the process of porting the fix to the coming 2020.2 update.

Many thanks!
