Calculate Weight of a Rotational Solid

Ribbon: Top Mechanical Draw > Mechanical Annotations > Revolution Solid Weight

  • What
  • Calculates the weight of a rotational solid.
  • Why
  • Calculates the weight of a rotational solid and writes next to the outline a text with the exact measure.
  • How
  • Enter the command, select the point in the outline where to carry out the rotation. If it is not necessary to select other outlines, press Enter. Set an axis and an angle for the rotation. A dialogue-box will be displayed to visualize the data of the solid and its weight. The weight depends on the material’s density, material which can be selected in the interface. This dialogue is identical to the one displayed to calculate the plates weight, thus, see the command " Top_PesoLamiera " for more info. Once closed the dialogue, the user can copy from the AutoCAD text window the solid’s data to paste in the drawing.
