GetMassProperty accuracy (weblink)

How can i specify the accuracy for the getMassProperty function of a solid in weblink? Even in the toolkit API documentation i can not see a parameter for this?

The default accuracy value is too high, so the center of mass is rounded to zero. But for my calculations, i need to detect those small values.

I don't know if the API has a handle for this or not. If it doesn't though can you call a mapkey who's only function is to update that value?

Even when i change the value in the GUI, the getMassProperty function in weblink seems to use a default value.

Can you do the whole thing with a mapkey rather than using the API?

I currently do this with a mapkey and then hit the button and export the text to a file which I then post process. This likely isn't want you were looking for but might be a work around if you don't find anyone else who knows the API better.
