Have you looked into the MASSPROP command?

Is CG the same as the centroid ?

If so, does using MASSPROP command work ?

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

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?

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...
