Center of Gravity

[bsamc2000]

I am using Inventor Professional 2008 and would like to display the XYZ of the center of gravity(COG). I can get the COG symbol to display but when I pause the cursor (as the help file said to do) I get nothing. I have read through the help file and can not find anything wrong. Can some shed some light on this? Is this a bug?

Thanks,
Brian

pause the cursor? not sure what you mean.

The Inventor Pro 2008 help file said to do the following:

Can the COG's coordinate location be displayed?
You can display the exact coordinate location of the center of gravity by pausing the cursor over the COG symbol.
Tip: If the coordinates do not appear, ensure that the select mode is set to either Features or Features and Edges, and then click the right arrow on the Select Other tool. This selects the COG symbol. The coordinates should then display when you pause the cursor over the symbol.

I have tried everything I can think of but nothing works. Any ideas?

...And have you done the rest of what is said?
"ensure that the select mode is set to either Features or Features and Edges, and then click the right arrow on the Select Other tool."

Yep. We have five seats and it does not work on any of them. I have a second project that I need to figure the COG on and it would be nice to extract the information from.

I am also using 2008 I have no problems viewing the data when I pause over the COG (just tried it) only thing I have done is downloaded the latest SP have you?

Can you post the file?

Maybe I am doing something out of order or I have a problem located some where between the keyboard and the back of the chair.
Can you please step me through what you did to get yours to work?

All I do is

view> center of gravity and pause mouse over the COG.

Sorry. The file when zipped is 1,514kb. Too large to upload.
I just opened the sample files and I get the same results. No information.

Thank,
