WOULD ANYONE HAVE A LISP PROGRAM ON CONVERTING MASSPROP FROM A VOLUME UNIT TO A WEIGHT UNIT BY INTRODUCING A DENSITY FACTOR RELATING TO MATERIAL OF THE OBJECT DRAWN.

If someone answers this question, please forward it to me. I am also looking for a very similar lisp routine to return region section properties and place the data into a table/block that I've created. enclad@sbcglobal.net
 
if your looking for a lisp that allows you to select a solid or group of solids then report the weight and center of gravity, then this is your lisp for autocad 2000 and up

;This program draws a point at the centroid of a
;region or solid. The point is drawn on the current
;layer at the current settings. It creates a file
;called deleteme.mpr in c:\temp directory that can
;be deleted if wanted, otherwise the program will
;just overwrite it everytime it runs.
