Hello,
 
 
We get physical properties for all the solid parts created in inventor.
 
why do we not get physical properties of surface parts ?
 
if i have a hollow cylinder made as a surface part, which doesnt have a thickness, then why doesnt it give the area of a cylinder by caclulating the
circumferance.
 
is there a way to get physical properties of surface parts in inventor ?????
 
thanks,
avani
