Weight changes from pounds in Creo to Kg in Windchill

Weight changes from pounds in Creo to Kg in Windchill

When we create a file in Creo and assign the pro_mp_mass to a parameter named Weight, we save the file and it uploads the weight to a Windchill attribute named Weight. We can see the value of weight in the Parameters screen in Creo in pounds, but in the Workspace. the weight has been converted to Kg.

 

Where do you apply the setting in Windchill that weights are in pounds or at least in the same units as they are in Creo?

Not sure about mass, but all family table data is converted to SI units in Windchill and cannot be displayed any other way.  I wonder if the same is true for mass...

I did a quick search in the KB.  Looks interesting:
