Calculate the centre of gravity with resprect to geometry in sketcher

How to calculate the centre of gravity of the section and geometric
centre of the drawing in sketcher. I need that point coordinates with
respect ot sketch, section or coordinate system

 

I don't think you can. You can calculate the properties of a cross
section using analysis - model analysis - x section mass properties,
but you need a solid section. just create one temporarily for your
calculation.

 

So, what would it be in a sketch? Geometric center? You have to be able,
somehow, to find it if you can find the center of the section which is no
more real than the sketch. What if you fill the sketch with surface? Can you
find the center of that? I'm pretty sure you can find the area, why not the
center? Or is it possible, just not with Pro/e.

Well, there's measure - area - surface, but that's not going to give
him all the info he wants. Whilst the surface has a centre, and must
have moments of area, I just can't see how to get Pro to give them to
me without soliding it up, then hacking a section through it. A bit
sub-optimal, but that's my middle name.
