I am starting to be suspicious of the properties program - when looking at a simple 2 by 4 rectangle , the locations of the centroid don't match calculations from "hand" calculations. So, let's not spend any more time on that question - thanks to all who tried to help me! Still, is it possible...

I am using the sketch to create a section that I copy into a section properties program. The centroid locations seem to be coming from some point not on the section? I am assuming the drawing format has something to do with this. All the other properties are OK.

is there a 0,0 location in the drawing sketch format? ie: can i place a point at 0,0?, or are all sketch items relative.

I can't get this to work - is there some option I need turned on? Thanks

Re: Bruce - I really don't know - it was imported into Alibre with the import file options set to: stitch to solid". When I had the file resent as a STEP file it allowed me to do the section. I have had problems with IGES before, so it...

section a imported IGES file The IGES imported solid we had would not let us section it. However, a STEP file (of the same solid part) did. We have run across this kind of thing before. All formats are NOT equal!
