Mass Attribute must be dynamic populated from the CAD system and the information must be with an UOM.

Mass Attribute must be dynamic populated from the CAD system using an API call and the information must be with and Unit of Measure.

The currant field "Mass (g)" is not dynamically linked to an attribute in CAD and has no UOM(ie., the field is useless).

the link to a custom attribute in CAD results in the field been populated with what ever UOM the user has chosen on time of saving/checking the item to Upchain.

this could be Gram Kilogram or Pound.

But if it's not dynamically linked to the calculated mass of a part or assembly, it's going to be wrong more often than not and is causing issue.

Use Case.

Link to earlier, related post and comment, some of which seems to have been referenced in writing this post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/upchain-ideas/solidworks-plugin-ui-design-request-change-the-order-of...

 

I'd personally prefer the field just be removed entirely, or at least put out of the way in the plugin.
