Justin, Thank you for your help, I'm sorry it took so long for me to respond.

 

The original templates used to create the custom parts had the 'lbmass' already selected.  It seems when I create the part as the template, set up the parameters, Create iPart, then publish the part to the Content Center the link is broken at this time.(?)  I'm not sure why that is, possibly because more columns were added and configured to the Family Table?  Or maybe that is normal?

 

I have tried to 'Replace Family Template', selected the original .ipt created and I get a dialog box that says Import Part is Invalid.

 

We have way to many parts created through the contents center many of them structual parts, to fix by editing the units.  Even to fix as they are created seems like too much extra effort.  Fortunately the outcome seen on the drawings shows up correctly in lbs., since the templates for the ipt's, iam's and idw's are set up that way.

 

Someone accidently stumbled across this issue when they opened up a part they created from contents center to check the weight.  Although it doesn't cause any serious issues, it would be nice if all the content center parts created as well as manually created parts started with our .ipt template were all in the same configuration.  Our company uses our lengths in 'mm' and our mass in 'lbs'.
