in a 3D SW assembly, how to make the center of gravity appear without going through the mass property function in order to visualize it permanently
Hello
Maybe it's a bit of a macro?

:-)
The center of gravity , I know these coordinates thanks to the Mass Property tool which indicates it in relation to the origin: the problem is that as soon as you leave this tool, the point that materializes the center disappears!!
And so, is there a trick to keep it materialized
I think this macro materializes the center of gravity all the time, but to check all the same.
The advantage is that you can also make the center of gravity appear depending on where this macro is located in the creation tree.
Hello
The feature now exists in SolidWorks 2013!
@+
Otherwise the macro works too!
That's it for the 2010 2011 version otherwise switch to the 2013 version

Hello;
My method consists of retrieving the coordinates of the center of gravity in "Mass property".
Then I insert a point into a 3D sketch, and I enter the coordinates to position my point, and I fix it. Then I show the 3D sketch in my tree.
The disadvantage is that this point must be repositioned as soon as the volume changes.
A macro can indeed easily update the position of the point if the CoG changes.
Kind regards.
Thank you for your answers:
Bastien, I can't create my account on this site... Too bad
Clementine, how do we use this macro? (never managed macro)
@BRIGE Thibault: On which version do you want to do it?
