Mass Properties - Print or Export Parts

[macduff]

Hello,

Is there a way to print or export mass properties of a top level assembly that includes all sub assemblies and parts? it would include material, mass, and inertia etc...



It would almost be like making a BOM, but with material data.



Thank you.

Aside from making a custom macro to do it i think the BOM route would be your best bet. i.e. Create custom properties in each part that represents each Mass Property type you wish to include. Then in the top level assy add a BOM with each column for each property. And then you can just expor that BOM (of course that last part won't be parametric).
