Measure Bodies 2

[Kenja824]

We are into NX1872

The old Measure Bodies button says it is to be retired. I was looking at the new Measure button and found it is easy to select a body or component to get the MASS. My problem is when it comes to tools with multiple components. The only way I can see to do this is to hover over a component until you get the multi selection and select the component. Then do this fir the next component and the next. One at a time. This would suck because we make some pretty large tools. Some with hundreds of components. The designers need to measure bodies for the entire tool to make sure it does not become too heavy for shipping on trucks.

Can someone please explain how to get the MASS for tools with multiple components or even multiple solid bodies? I am trying to learn how to do this to be prepared for the future so the designers do not suddenly get it sprung on them. lol

In the "object to measure" section, select "object set", set your selection filters to "solid body" and "entire assembly", then just rectangle select all the bodies that you want to measure.
