GetChamferUnits Method (IDisplayDimension)

Gets the local units of measurement for a chamfer display dimension.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function GetChamferUnits( _
   ByRef LengthUnit As Integer, _
   ByRef AngularUnit As Integer _
) As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IDisplayDimension
Dim LengthUnit As Integer
Dim AngularUnit As Integer
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.GetChamferUnits(LengthUnit, AngularUnit)
C# 
bool GetChamferUnits( 
   out int LengthUnit,
   out int AngularUnit
)
C++/CLI 
bool GetChamferUnits( 
&   [Out] int LengthUnit,
&   [Out] int AngularUnit
) 

Parameters

LengthUnit
Unit of length as defined in swLengthUnits_e
AngularUnit
Unit of angle as defined in swAngleUnits_e

Return Value

True if successful, false if not

Example

Remarks

The unit display setting of a chamfer display dimension is controlled by a value stored in one of two places: on the owning document or on the individual display dimension. Use IDisplayDimension::GetUseDocUnits to determine whether the units settings are local or from the owning document. If IDisplayDimension::GetUseDocUnits returns true, then the units settings are from the owning document, and this API returns -1 for both length and angle units of measurement.

Local unit information for a chamfer display dimension is in force when Override Units is selected on the Other tab of the dimension's PropertyManager page. If Override Units is selected, then this API returns units as defined in swLengthUnits_e (length measurement) and swAngleUnits_e (angle measurement).
