Summary

The CP_CGRAV command in CADPower for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander enables users to calculate the center of gravity (CG) of closed polyline objects. This tool is essential for mass distribution analysis, structural design, and layout optimization by determining the exact geometric centroid of polygonal shapes.

CADPower -> Inquiry Tools -> Inquiry Tools -> Compute Center of Gravity

Key features include:

• Compute Center of Gravity – Accurately calculates the center of gravity for closed polylines representing mass or area.
• Supports Multiple Polyline Shapes – Works with irregular, regular, and complex closed polylines.
• Interactive CG Display – Prints the X, Y coordinates of the center of gravity directly on the command line.
• Automatic CG Marker Placement – Inserts a point object at the calculated center of gravity for easy visualization.
• Practical for Engineering & Design – Ideal for mechanical, structural, and civil engineering applications where mass balance and symmetry are critical.
• Compatible with Major CAD Platforms – Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.

Benefits:

With CP_CGRAV, users can efficiently calculate and visualize the center of gravity, ensuring better design integrity and mass distribution in their CAD projects.
