How to find COG?

[Cadastrophic]

Is there a command within AutoCAD2000 to establish the centre of gravity of a solid or solids?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a lisp routine that would do this?

[a1harps]

The "_Massprop" command calculates something called the "centroid"

in Acad 2000. I am not sure if that is the same as center of gravity

or not.

and 7 years later the spelling is correct......

Thanks, I'll give it a go later.

[hendie]

there's a free download on http://www.resourcecad.com called CENT which will place a point object on the centroid of any chosen solid or region

Would you believe it; I came across that lisp this afternoon when looking for something else.

Thanks for the pointer anyway.

Surely you mean massprop? Your command only has one s.

[ReMark]

Yes, he means "massprop". And don't call him Shirley.

Surely, you can find an older thread to resurrect? This one is only 7 years old.

 

I am sure there are newer threads with spelling errors.

 

I fixed it for you.
