Unit property weight component toolbox

3D Design
1

Hi all

I'm on Solidworks 2022 and I've set up my Toolbox.
I added a personal weight property in the toolbox files to make it appear in the nomenclature.

However the weight of the toolbox elements appears in "grams", while in my assemblies I use the "kilogram"

How do I change the units of a toolbox file?
More generally, is there a tool to homogenize the units of different components in a BOM?

Last point: is there a way to change the number of significant digits in the units of mass? because in the properties of the document this box appears "greyed out" (I would like for example to stay in Kilogram with a 3-digit display after the decimal point)

Kind regards

Unity is not related to the unity of the room?

Look in Tools/Options/Document Properties \Unit and change the Mass unit to kg to see.

@sbadenis,
Yes indeed, but I'm afraid that it is not possible to modify the units of a Toolbox file because it is "read-only"

I have the impression that a current limitation is being raised: a property is not linked to a unit.

Imagine that you have the same part used in 2 assemblies. In the first you want to display his weight in Kg, in the second you want to display his weight in grams. How do we do it? impossible to standardize the units in the BOM?
