Hello All,
I am trying to obtain the moment of inertia of built up steel members by drawing the sections in AutoCadd and using the massprop command. When I check AutoCadd's results with hand calcs, it appears that AutoCadd is computing the section properties about at the lower left hand point of the section.
Is there a way to have AutoCAD compute the section properties about the centroid of the composite section?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
