No Center of Gravity option

[jeffsteiger6735]

Perhaps it's a not enough coffee yet problem, but I can't get the "show center of gravity" option when I RMB on an assembly inside a drawing view...  

I'm pretty sure it should show up as an option right below "get model sketches" ? (Inventor 2017 if that matters)

One show in first level.

Yeah, it works there, but thats useless for what I need.

My work around is simply to drop a sketch on the conveyor shown (the P012119 assembly) and locate the CoG based on the dimensions from the drawing of that assembly file.

Not ideal as that isn't parametric, but job done for now.

A bit of ilogic can create a workpoint at the COG of a part or assembly. 

See: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2020/04/25/cog/

I add something similar to key models, then Include the workpoint in the drawing view.  If that doesn't work, I've added a COG marker part file to the assembly and constrain it to the COG location, then show it in the drawing view.

I add Zero weight sphere to COG point.
