ProMassPropertyGet() doesn't match Analysis->Mass Properties results.

On each component of an assembly I am calculating mass properties referencing a csys owned by the top-level assembly. I isolate each component by creating a simplified representation that only contains the component. I am finding that when I call ProMassPropertyGet() the results are

Ok, I believe I have found the discrepancy. Pro/TOOLKIT will only report
back the mass properties from an "assigned" point of view whereas the
default for Pro/ENGINEER is "computed". Now I have to figure out how to
get Pro/TOOLKIT to return "computed" values. Here is a screenshot of the
difference. Notice the difference in the values for AVERAGE DENSITY and
MASS.
