Returning center of gravity as part of return value of file:massprops

[iincer]

The "mass properties" computed by Creo include items like total mass, volume, several inertia values, center of gravity, etc. Currently, the file:massprops function returns a subset of these values, namely volume, mass, density, surface_area, ctr_grav_inertia_tensor, coord_sys_inertia, and coord_sys_inertia_tensor.
The center of gravity is a very useful parameter of a device, and should be part of the value returned by file:massprops.

Should be able to add that, there is a PTC function GetGravityCenter() which returns "The center of gravity with respect to coordinate frame" as a 3D matrix.

Sounds perfect. Thank you. I implemented this in a local copy of the code and can open a pull request for your review.

Sure, but I won't be able to look at it for a couple of days due to going out of town. Adam

I was wrong about what it returned, it returns a 3D point, not a 3D matrix. Good enough?

Checked in code, will be released with next release.
