ReMark Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Educate me please. CG as in center of gravity? Quote
NBC Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Is CG the same as the centroid ? If so, does using MASSPROP command work ? Quote
dkdhiraj Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 yes CG is Centre of gravity and it is same as centroid. I have looked in to the massprop command. I wanted to ask how can i shift the CG to a particular point,ofcourse i need to make some modifications. is it clear? or i am making things more complex PS: 10 cups of coffee dint help me ...thts why i am here for ur help.

Tiger Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 So this is not really an AutoCAD question? You want to know how to alter an object so that it's center of gravity is moved? If I'm mistaken - then use move? use MASSPROP to extract the center of gravity for one object and use that as the destination point for the other object Quote
dkdhiraj Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 i wanted to know whether it is possible to do tht alteration(which u understood correctly)....or i will have to do it manually and then add some other object to it to shift the cg? Quote
Tiger Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I would say you have to do it manually. And those kind of calculations it was a long time since I did so I can't help you here..... I remember there were lots of parenthesis though... Quote
