Problem with Mass Calculation In ViaCAD Pro (#4669)

Hi, I've found that the mass properties calculations are not scaling correctly with units. For example if I take a flat aluminum disk 1" in diameter by .25" thick and look at the calculated Weight in the Vew Properties menu, it does not change if I display in grams or kg (using the check box). It seems to use the density based on kg/cm3 no matter what the state of the check box. That is, it displays a density of .003 Kg/cm3 and .003 g/cm3 for each units set. I notice that if you have the use grams check box enabled and select a new material from the drop down menu, the density displays correctly (2.7 g/cm3 for aluminum) but the calculation uses Kg/cm3. Is this a known bug? Will it be fixed in an update? Thanks in advance for any help. Mark

Thank you Mark to mention this bug. I've made several posts about it (on Shark too). As you give more details than I did, it may be fixed soon... JL
