material unit change

If you edit the material file that specifies the properties for "AlMg" you will find a section that defines the density, which looks something like this

{
 Name = PTC_MASS_DENSITY
 Type = Real
 Default = 7.20e+3 kg/m^3
 Access = Full
},

As you can see, the units for the value are specified. Change the file you have to the proper units and away you go.

You'll probably have to close Creo then re-open it for the change to be in effect. Just a guess, but always best practice.

Material files (.mtl) are just text files. So you could open the mtl file in a text editor (like notepad or notepad ++) and change 

{
 Name = PTC_MASS_DENSITY
 Type = Real
 Default = 2.7 tonne/mm^3
 Access = Full
},

to

{
 Name = PTC_MASS_DENSITY
 Type = Real
 Default = 2.7 g/cm^3
 Access = Full
},

Alternatively you can add it to your model and then right click on it and go to properties and change it there. This will only change it in that model. If you want to save over the old file you can click save or file-> save as a copy and save it that way.
