Create Your Own Gravity Center Symbol

You can draw your own gravity center mark that replaces the default symbol in the drawing projection. You can change the model's gravity center symbol the same way.

Change the gravity center symbol to a drawing projection / model

Do as follows:

Drawing projections: Model:
  1. Create a drawing of the new symbol in the scale of 1:1.
  1. Create a sketch of the new symbol in the scale of 1:1.
  1. Name the drawing: GravityCenter.vxp .
  1. Name the model: v_mass.vxm .
  1. Save the drawing in the folder: vxg4/system/macros/GravityCenter.vxp .
  1. Save the model in the folder: vxg4\system\macros\v_mass.vxm .
  1. Restart Vertex.
  1. Restart Vertex.
Note:
  • The sketch's origin is the center of the Gravity Center.
  • The software scales the gravity center symbol to the drawing so, that it is always the same size as in the printed drawing GravityCenter.vxp.
