sub main()
dim swapp as sldworks.sldworks
dim part as sldworks.modeldoc2
dim mass as sldworks.massproperty
set swapp = application.sldworks
set part = swapp.activedoc
set mass = part.extension.createmassproperty
mass.usesystemunits = false
debug.print mass.mass
end sub
instead of using debug.print, you can assign the value of mass.mass to your textbox. the format is up to you. when i ran this, the mass was being extracted as grams. you can then use mass.mass in a formula if you like.
ex: yourtextboxnamehere.text = (mass.mass)/100
hope this helps.
