Hello ,we have recently been assigning materials to our products.This will ultimately add the part weight to the drawing. Now when I select Analysis/ Model / Mass, I get a popup box with the weight. Its displayed in Engineering notation.


MASS = 1.5724583e-02 KILOGRAM


Now after much searching I'm confused how I change the to grams

Is it (1.57 x 10^-2) * 1000 ?


So 15.7 grams ?


Geoff
