    Define a point mass

    Thanks for the input. Looks like that macro retrieves the current mass properties and places a point at the current CG of the model. Moving the point does not affect the mass properties (so it seems). I would like to know if it is possible to give the model empty mass properties, then...

    I'm a Pro/E user who was just thrown into the fire here with SW2003. Hopefully someone can lend me a hand as I struggle to learn this new tool. I need to define a point mass within a model(part). This point mass would be used to represent the CG of a rudimentary model. I have read through...
