AutoCad :: Find Center Of Mass For Arc?
Sep 9, 2013I am wondering is there a command that can let me find the center of mass for a linear object.
In particular I need to find the center of mass for an arc.

How can see visually the center mass of a part or assembly?
When I'm checking in the Iprop., I see the center of gravity coordinates, but it there a way to "see" it (some visual representation)

We want to obtain the center of mass of two or more subassemblies within an assembly. How to do it? The subassemblies may or may not be connected to each other directly.

I have created a box 300x300x300 with the center of the box at 0,0,0 (for testing the cg) . The result I get is not 0,0,0 one of the values always comes out to be not zero, depending on the orientation of the box. Is this a bug?
Dim cg As Point3d = T.MassProperties.CentroidMsgBox(cg.X & vbCr & cg.Y & vbCr & cg.Z)

I made a custom model rocket a few days ago and I posted some pics online. A lot of the rocketry community gave me crap that my fins are too small, and my nose cone was not the right shape.
I made a CAD of the rocket in inventor and I would like to run a simulation so I can see what it will look like when the air is flowing over my rocket.
Here's a STEP file of the rocket, as of now I don't have the density of the parts set because I am still trying to figure out how to add custom densities. I know that there are somethings about the rocket that don't seem right, like the nose cone that doesn't go over the sides of the tube - but that was a machining error on the actual rocket and I wanted to make the CAD as similar as possible.
When my colleague opens one of my assembly's which has content center items in it his inventor cannot find them and vice versa. I am assuming my content center items are coming from my hard drive and not a server from the same place as him. How do you set it up so both our computers take content items from the same location?

Then opened the assembly in the “Pack and go” folder I created to put it, and it cannot find all the content center parts, such as the ASME eccentric reducer and M24 bolt – see attached i.e. I had to resolve the links. I know they came over with the pack and go as they are in the “Libraries” folder.

I've been looking for a solution to remove the unit string ie Lbs, g, kg from the value given from a 'Mass' value in a text string.
As you may all know, creating text and having a 'physical property - mass' value...the unit string is there...
Lots of people on here have the problem...no-one has got a solution.
Until now...
Basically...open the part you need to get the mass property of in your text string.
Follow the instructions on this webpage...this is the first part...
[URL]
Basically, this creates a Mass property value in the parameters table that you can call on as a text parameter.
It's similar to the custom iproperty model - mass but NOT the same.
Once you have done this, you can go to the drawing of the part and create a text string in the drawing and call it up as shown in this procedure. BUT it still has the unit string.
Here's the best bit that you want to know...
To get RID of the unit string...open up the part again from the drawing...click on the parameter icon...find the user parameter...in the Nominal value column, right click on the value and you get a pop-up that gives you 3 options...
Custom Property Format, Make Multi Value & Delete Parameter.
Click on Custom Property Format.
The pop-up window comes up...showing you the property type...in my case...the 4 left columns read Text, g (grams), Format & Precision...
On the right hand side I have a Preview of the text...then 3 check boxes...Units string, Leading Zero's, Trailing Zero's.
Units string is checked.
Uncheck it.
Close it...Save your part...go back to the drawing and hey presto!...the text now shows the weight you require as a straight value...no units!

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having some fits with the constrained orbit center. It seems to me that It used to always be in the center of the screen when I would use Shift and CMB. Now it seems to be stuck on the center of my assembly/part. I know that I can hit F4 and long select LMB to re-center but I have never had to do that before the last day or two. I have uninstalled all the Beta Add ins I had installed and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Inventor Pro 2014.
Is there an option somewhere that puts the default Orbit Center to the center of the screen?

I'm sure this is mind-numbingly obvious and I am overlooking it, but when I go to use the rotate tool, the center point of the rotation is defaulting to the center of the artboard, not the selected group of objects. How do I change that to default to rotating on the selection center by default?

I'm trying to convert a few thousand files from dwg to pdf and I believe I'm on the right track but am a little stuck. I'm attempting to use DWG TrueView though I have limited access to AutoCAD for like template creation and such.
I seem to have trouble getting some of them to plot/publish and also it seems many of the layouts don't show the entire actual view (like I see 1/4 corner taking up the entire page) - scaling problems.
My procedure is to create model and sheet page setup files in AutoCAD to use the built in DWG to PDF printer and 8.5" x 11" landscape. So I open the acad.dwt template file, and save one for model and one for layout after setting the above settings.
I then open one of the drawings and run batch plot, then I set the list with all the layout only drawings (was going to do models later) and import the page setup file for drawings. I am getting an error saying the layout is not initialized -I was going to consider using AutoCAD and MultiBatch to initialize the layouts. If I attempt to plot now I currently do not see any PDFs created even though the logs say about 6 or so completed.
When I try to print and select "center" the image does not center on the page. CS5 worked fine originally but after the last update it too seems to have this issue. From what I can observe it seems as if someone thought that showing the printable area on a page was useful and somehow that may have been worked into the calculation of what centered (on the long dimension of a print) is. Engineering aside, if you actually try to sell your work, your client / customer only sees that the image is not centered on the physical sheet. They don't care about the printable area. The only work around I have found is to uncheck "center" and key in 50% of the difference between the actual print size and the actual paper size as a margin. I don't want to scale prints. I need to print to specific dimensions.

I have wanted to know how to create things like circle gradients from the exact center of the canvas.
I know how to create a gradient, but the problem is, it's really hard to pin point exactly where the center of the canvas is, and sometimes I need it to be as perfect as possible.

How can I see the mass of a solid, or if it's not possible, at least the volume.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was checking my prints and noticed that the mass for the assembly was not shown correctly. The mass for each component is correct, but the mass for the assembly is less than the total mass of the parts..... how can that be?
Watch this video. The mass for my assembly is reported from iProperties as 10 lbs, but the mass for one of the parts is 60lbs. I would expect the mass for the assembly to be at least 60 lbs, but it is not. I tried a "Rebuild All" and an "Update Mass" on my assembly, but that did not fix it (30 sec mark in the video).
This assembly is part of a much larger assembly (around 35,000 parts). There are several more assemblies doing this and I need to get the mass correct.
I am using 2013 x64, SP2.
I have an assembly that i need to know the mass of, easy enough, however the assembly needs to be weighed without some of the parts in it. I hought i could simply uncheck "enabled" of the unwanted parts and re check the mass, however it does not change. Any solution besides adding the wanted parts individually?
View 6 Replies View Related have one assy comprising of a valve, made in steel, an actuator made in aluminum, total weight combined is 36 kg.
I make this assy a derived ipt.. i have tried all the output options, single solid, multy solid and the weight is not the same.. since its a new ipt has its own material, ok makes sense.. .. So i use composite, i get the correct weight (yay), but now i cant turn the visibility off on the 2d drawing, in certain pipe spool view representations.
What is the correct procedure for turning multi material assys into an ipt.. to get the correct weights and get the drawings to work properly?
How to set the mass calculation accuracy to 'Very High' when doing calculations in iLogic.
I asked for the iLogic equivalent to the VBA term:
' Set the accuracy to VeryHigh.
oMassProps.Accuracy = k_VeryHigh
and was provided with:
oMassProps.Accuracy = 24580 'k_VeryHigh=24580
However, I believe that the value 24580 is actually equivalent to k_Medium. Confirm the iLogic equivalent value of k_VeryHigh.

In assembly file - BOM - mass property, parts with the same name (part number) i get "VARIES"..Parts have a little bit different mass - 0,167kg and 0,168kg. I do not want to have different part number.
So, i'm going to do something like this in iLogic :
iProperties.MassOfComponent("fi_N1:1")=Round(iProperties.MassOfComponent("fi_N1:1"),1)
it works but is there any way to do it for all parts (hundreds) automagically in the loop (iLogic or VB) ?
I have recently made a bucket for chain (linked) and was looking to put the chain in the bucket for visual purposes and to see if the capacity of the bucket is correct.
I can get the chain linked together, however when rotated round it passes through another piece of chain.
Is there a way in inventor to tell a part/assembly of it’s physical/mass properties? I know you can make something mild steel and get weight etc, however if not constrained it still passes through as if it’s a ghost.
I have added the mass properties and I do not want the lbmass behind it. How do I get rid of it?
