Weight units are messing up

    Hey

    We keep having a problem with weight units, we had used the same
    templates for years and when we converted to 2007 it suddenly changed
    the part weight property to grams instead of kilograms on its own,
    causing a lot of problems since it dosnt fit into our BOMs and having
    added the "kg" in the drawing sheets and inserting it in grams is of
    course wrong. I have resaved all the templates with the kg again, but
    some of my users gets it in grams sometimes still.

    So the question is if I can do anything with the custom property that
    converts it to kg no matter what (not sure it can be done since the
    evaulated value is just a number and not a linked property).

    Have you looked at setting custom units in your templates?
