Sets options for calculating the weight and center-of-gravity for an object or set of objects in the model.
Select
Selects objects for the calculation. You can click multiple objects (without holding the CTRL key) for inclusion in the select set.
The software adds all the select set objects that support the Selection Filter.
Clear Latest Selection
Removes all objects from the select set for weight and center-of-gravity. To remove just one object, click it again. This button appears after you click Select.
Accept Latest Selection
Accepts all currently selected objects and finishes the selection process.
Coordinate System
Specifies a coordinate system in the workspace or defines a new coordinate system by three points.
Toggle Center of Gravity
Displays the coordinate system reference and center-of-gravity symbol .
Toggle List of Parts
Displays a table (Weight & CG Display List) of the selected parts with their corresponding weights and centers-of-gravity. For more information about Weight & CG Display List, see Weight & CG Display List.
Condition
Specifies either dry or wet weight.
Weight
Displays the weight value of the selected objects. You can specify units on the Units of Measure tab on the Tools > Options dialog box.
Coordinate (X, Y, Z)
Displays the center-of-gravity of the selected objects. You can specify units on the Units of Measure tab on the Tools > Options dialog box.
Close
Ends the command. You can also end the command by clicking Tools > Weight & CG again.
Selection Filter
Selects the hierarchy filter for objects.
Weight and CG calculation requires one hierarchy to avoid duplicate addition of weight for sub-parts.
All: Objects that belong to any hierarchy can be selected.
Selecting this filter might result in double counting of Weight & CG. The Weight & CG values might not be reliable.
Auto Selection: Automatically selects objects belonging to any hierarchy.
The order in which you select objects determines the hierarchy. Selection of more objects gets restricted to the hierarchy that belongs to the selected objects. If all the objects support multiple hierarchies, the software gives preference to the System Hierarchy for Weight & CG calculation.
System Filter: Select only objects that belong to the System hierarchy.
Assembly Filter: Select only objects that belong to the Assembly hierarchy.
Analysis Filter: Select only objects that belong to the Analysis hierarchy.
Select Nested
Select this option to add all the recursive hierarchical children to the selected objects for Weight & CG computation.
