Changing from Grams to Kilograms on drawing

Changing from Grams to Kilograms on drawing

Changing from Grams to Kilograms on drawing

(OP)
Hi All,

I have set-up my drawing sheet to automatically input the items weight, yet I changed the preferences in the mass properties in: tools > Mass Properties, to kilograms yet on the drawing file it has stayed in grams.

Does anyone happen to now where to go to change this setting from grams to kilograms as well?

Cheers

RE: Changing from Grams to Kilograms on drawing

Try Tools->Options->Document Properties->Units. Set the units to kilogram

...or just label the mass value as millikilograms...
