Question:
After changing the weight per unit value in the profile catalog, how can I make the change affect the weight values shown in reports or in the Inquire dialog box?
Answer:
The Inquire dialog box shows WEIGHT, WEIGHT_NET and WEIGHT_CROSS. They are calculated using material catalog density and solids. If you want the weight to be calculated using the density given on the profile catalog Analysis tab, use WEIGHT_M in your reports.
