So do I. To the nearest pound, that is. Every time I try the weight thing in Inventor, it gives a number on the part. This is all well and good, until I try an assembly. Then it always under-estimates for me, so I go back through and take the weights it gives for each part and add them up. I'm usually about 10% over its estimate. Ouch. Other than that it's nice.
