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.
