Show part mass on drawing

stuart_clark048

Is there a simple way to display the mass of a part and/or assembly in a drawing so that it remains a live link to the part studio or assembly?

This is a bit a shame but there is no way

There is a way, but you will need to abandon the material library built into Onshape, and use a custom featurescript that stores the result into a custom property.

Being a pro user, it is within your grasp. Free users will need to store the result in an existing property, like title1 or something

Here's my implementation, although it is combined with part numbering and colors, but you should be able to delete most of that out.

Be wary, if you ever modify the material of the part with Onshape's built in function, then that will override any featurescript and you will get a blank result in your property. The only way to fix it, is to force a change to the internal ID of the part. Usually by delete/recreate a feature on the tree that has created the part.
