Hi,
How do you find the centroid of a 2D shape (i.e centroid of a triangle)?
I have teh same question for the moment of inertia.
I have tried the command massprop but the program does not "recognize the command"
Thanks,

I also want to know how to make a region from a closed shape.
I am trying to move from autocad but these basic tasks do not let me.

Hi Andres,
Please use the "
REGION" command to make a region from a closed shape.
Then use the "
MASSPROP" to view the mass properties of the region.

The problem is that intellicad do not recognize that command.
I paste the command line (could not paste the screen, how do you upload images?):
"Command: REGION
Unable to recognize command "REGION". Please try again."
My CMS Intellicad version is:
10.1.1346.134007.PE.VC16.x64.CMS101a
Do you think that command is included only in intellicad PE+ and not intellicad PE?
Thanks QuanNguyen,
