| When parting-out a set it would be nice to display total weight of the specific
lot, the same way it can be set for orders recived.
See picture:
This way we would not require to cont pieces when parting-out instead weighting
them would save much time.

Dangerous. The same part in different colors has different weights. Close enough
for shipping purposes but for using a counting scale, a bad idea.

Just get a 0.01 gram sensitive counting scale. I use one that I got for about
$20 for counting out parts in excess of 100 pieces. I just weigh out 25 or
50, set the scale for that amount and then I dump the rest on to see my total
count. This is great for counting out PAB parts, especially of the 1x1 and 1x2
dimensions. It's amazing how much weight can vary from color to color. This
is especially true with ABS vs PC (poly-carbonate). Poly-carbonate is used in
lieu of ABS plastic for trans color parts. The weight difference is something
like ~20-30% from ABS, whereas the color difference among ABS is
be more with older parts which may have used different molds and pre-colored
ABS containing more dye.
