ACAD Conversion from cu.in to gallons 1

[chicopee]

Can any convertion program (but not with lisp) be integrated in ACAD so that instead of reading volume units in cu.in.,these units can be automatically converted to gallons when I do a mass properties check under the inquiry command?

How hard is it to divide by 231 ? for us gallons
or 277.4196 for uk gallons ?

This does not answer your question directly but it is a little application most of the engineers here use...

Dimjim, it is not hard, it is just a pain in the neck espacially when the mass property units involve 12 digits excluding decimals. To the rest of the responders, thanks!

Why not use LISP? It should be easy to create a small LISP program that extracts the volume and multiplies by a user set density. This could be mapped to a button or typed command. Question: would it work if you scaled a copy of your solid by 0.1630 and then used that volume as gallons?
