Dear Chris Shelton

The subject of today's 3DView Hints & Tips message is- 
how to calculate part volumes?  

HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE PART VOLUMES - quickly!!
==================================

Read in you model say in iges, stl or any other 3D format and 
wait for the image to appear on the screen.  

1/ Position the mouse over the image. 
 (This is important- the mouse must be on top of the image)

2/ Click your right hand mouse button - a long menu should 
pop up onto the screen. 

3/ Scroll down the menu to Mass Properties and you will 
see the volume selection appear. - click Volume and 
3DView will do the rest.  

Plastic injection moulders and those in the die casting industry 
find this feature particularly helpful when quoting a new project. 

(Health warning - if the part has  un-trimmed surfaces, 2D lines 
or used the fast iges read option the volume calculation 
could be inaccurate)
