Inventor 101: How to show total mass of each items?

Creating parts list with weight summary.

1. Edit Parts list.

In the red marked of this photo, it shows that the masses were all for single item only.

2.  Right Mouse Click on the category head (MASS)  and select "Format column".

3. Go to Substitution tab, tick "Enable Value Substitution and select mass. Press OK.

·         This will enable the mass property to sum all values per item against ITEM QTY.

Note:

You must include ITEM QTY in the parts list for this option be enable otherwise this wouldn't work.

4. Now you will see that masses are in total value of each item. You will not be able to override the value as long as the "Enable Value Substitution" is active. 

End.
