As in, area moment of inertia? At this moment, Onshape doesn't compute it natively, but there's a custom feature that prints the moment in the FeatureScript console: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5ced829a764f8a267f3d85fe/w/20368aab8d7215ec55ae4e72/e/df7eacac756f75e56b8632b2

Something like this (at 0:45): https://youtu.be/oEOJus975Tg?si=NWhjOneBS73hFhSz&t=45

And the FS console is found here:



All that said, we're aware of the need. Keep checking back.

Thanks for the quick response anton. That's a disappointment coming from SWX! I'm not familiar with FeatureScript. Can you direct me to a tutorial or resource to learn how to use it?
Thx,

You happened to ask this four days before built-in area moment of inertia evaluation was slated to ship. Here's the update: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/23233/improvements-to-onshape-february-23rd-2024
