Mass Properties

When you do a Mass Properties on an object (Analysis -> Mass Properties) you have an option to “Display Annotation”. Toggle this on and select a solid. This will present you with a annotation and the ability to drag the value attached by a leader around the screen. This will remain on the screen until the screen is refreshed. An undo will also do an Refresh and the annotation will disappear.

There is also a save button that will create associative expression. In the expression dialog change the Listed Expressions to “Measurements”. You will have 5 expressions, Surface area, volume, mass, weight, radius of gyration.

    I would look through the API for control of the file properties to enable this function.
