After the Center of Mass (COM) is added, we can add a Center of Mass

Reference Point by right mouse clicking in the COM feature and selecting the

COM Reference Point from the pop-up menu. The main difference between these

two is that the Center of Mass is a dynamic reference that is constantly updated

based on the part's geometry. It will always be at the center of mass of the part.

On the other hand, the "Center of Mass Reference Point" will be added as a

feature and will remain at this location even if the part's geometry changes by

adding more features after it. The Center of Mass Reference point can be used to

dimension features and sketch entities from it.
