Is there a way to limit the number of decimals when you download a property such as mass? Example for the purpose of a casting drawing 40.9 lbs would be adequate, but I am getting 40.94503.

Go back to the Model file that you are trying to get the mass for. Then go to Tools, Options, Document Properties, Units. Near the bottom of the dialog box there is a setting for Decimal places in Mass property units.
 
MElam, I tried that but the drawing did not update. I am on SW05 SP1.1
 
Try CTRL-Q and see if it updates.

Mine worked, but still on 0.1
