Summary: Be able to retrieve the mass and area properties and include them in the title block, etc.

Description: I would like the ability to retrieve the Mass and Surface area model properties from the ipt and iam and automatically populate the title block. Almost all properties from a model can be retrieved automatically with the exception of Mass and Square inches.

How Used: We use this on every idw. Surface area is used to calculate the amount of paint or powder coat used on every item. The Mass is used to determine shipping weights and production uses them to determine if a hoist or lift has the capacity to lift it.

Feature Affinity: Drawing Manager
