Decimal expression rather than engineering expression on property

Would you mind having a look at the thread as follow; http://www.alibre.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11276&p=67525#p67525 What I would like to suggest is to let user to have expression format choice than simply expressing in the current format. It is FAQ in the forum about engineering expression used by Alibre on getting property of the part/assembly. I guess it is a piece of a cake of you to have option to change the presentation format for these numbers. Thank you

        I agree. I have made a few mistakes on some mass spreadsheets, not because I don't know Sci-notation, but because I didn't see the -1 in 3.01642383438E-1 lbm. We don't need mass or volume to the last molecule.

        I agree - when calculating Physical Properties, etc, allow output to be given in user-selected units, and use Engineering Notation for very large / very small quantities, rather than system-default Scientific Notation.
