Region Properties dialog box

Evaluates the area, perimeter, and the Area Moment of Inertia properties of sketch loops. Takes all measurements from the sketch coordinate system.

Access

Ribbon: Inspect tab Measure panel Region Properties

Selection
Specifies one or more sketch loops. Dual Units Specifies a unit of measurement.
Calculate
Calculates automatically when you select sketch entities. Recalculates results after you add to the selection set. Provides:
  • Area and Perimeter Cumulative area and perimeter values if multiple sketch loops are selected.
  • Centroid Location Display of the X and Y distances from Sketch origin to Centroid.
  • Inertial with respect to Sketch Origin Inertia Tensor and Polar Moment with respect to the sketch origin.
  • Area Moments of Inertia with respect to Principal Axes Principal Moments, Polar Moment, Rotation about Z Axis, and Radii of Gyration, with respect to the Principal Axes.
