Physical Properties in 2D drawing

It would be nice to have a possibility to get physical properties (mass, volume, area, ...) of a part or assambly in the "Design Property Values" in 2D-drawings.

Furthermore the Design Properties material-information in the "Part-Data"-Tab should be automaticaly set to that from the "material"-Tab, so there is no need to set it twice.

        mass and volume are sure physical properties of a solid part, and just like others you mention might be needed to write on 2D drawings... point is not 2D or 3D properties but physical properties...

        Must have 2D moment of inertia X, Y, J, centroid and area. Mass and volume are 3D properties, not 2D.

        Taking this one step further, when using the vault, the material field should be set by by the material in the material tab.

        I'd also like the capability to add a center fo gravity symbol with dimensions.
