Can default part density be changed?

[speedster29]

If you don't define a material the mass defaults to steel. Is there a way to change this? I didn't see it in the Customer Defaults.

^^This is in NX5^^

Yes, at...

Customer Defaults -> Modeling -> Solid Modeling -> Mass and Density

...but this will only effect totally new part files which get created after the next time that you start up NX. Which means that if you're using Modeling templates, you will need to change each template file by going to...

Preferences -> Modeling -> General

...and then saving the updated Part template file(s).

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
