Weight and Volume

Hi everyone,

 

I'm revising a drawing that is missing mass and volume fields in the tables on each sheet.

 

The standard units for our metric parts are mm-kg-sec, but we want to call out g for mass and cm for volume in the drawings.  Right now I am using the following parameters, but want to know if anyone out there knows how to come up with gram and cm.  Possibly with a relation equation?

 

&PRO_MP_MASS[.4] kg.

&PRO_MP_VOLUME[.0] mm³

 

I appreciate any responses. Thank you!

I would use a relation to convert from the system units to your desired display units. Then use that parameter in your drawing format formatted to the desired number of decimal places.
