    Hi Karli,

    1. Select the Measure Weight icon, select the part of interest and select Calculate.

    2. On the right side of the screen, you will see the "Center of Gravity".  Jot down the coordinates
    3. Add a System (attached to the part of interest) at the same coordinates you noted for the CofG

    4. After solving motion, select the Trace Point feature, then select the system origin and you should see the trace of the CG.

    Hope this helps.
