(OP)
I was wondering if anyone has customized the materials database in SW2004 using in-lbs? I would like to have all my materials to show in UPPER case (for BOM use) and to be able to edit/create my own material density. I'm able to copy the SW default database, but can't seem to switch to cubic inch pounds. Thanks!

Scott,
Thank you for your quick response. Can I use a formula to convert the Physical Properties? Would this be a good approach?

Scott,
I called our local tech support on this issue. He said that SW is aware of the units not changing from metric to inches, and the fix should be in the next service pack (SP02)

Have a great holiday!
