Hello; Recently, the need has arisen to find the distance between the center of mass of sub-assemblies within a main assembly and some common point on the main assembly. The reason is to find out; as I am adding sub-assemblies to the main assembly, how much weight am I putting on, and where? Currently my method is as follows. In each sub-assembly, I can generate a mass properties report that gives me the center of mass with respect to that sub-assemblies main coordinate system. Then from that, I can relay it back to the common point on the main assembly, however this is a tedious process. I am wondering if there is some quick way (like Analysis -> measure -> distance) where I can chose the center of mass as a parameter to put into the distance measuring tool. This would not only speed up the process, but it would insure that I am getting correct numbers for distances. Any insight would help. Thanks!
