.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Sub SetUnits( _
   ByVal UType As System.Short, _
   ByVal FractBase As System.Short, _
   ByVal FractDenom As System.Short, _
   ByVal SigDigits As System.Short, _
   ByVal RoundToFraction As System.Boolean _
)
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IModelDoc2
Dim UType As System.Short
Dim FractBase As System.Short
Dim FractDenom As System.Short
Dim SigDigits As System.Short
Dim RoundToFraction As System.Boolean
 
instance.SetUnits(UType, FractBase, FractDenom, SigDigits, RoundToFraction)
C# 
void SetUnits( 
   System.short UType,
   System.short FractBase,
   System.short FractDenom,
   System.short SigDigits,
   System.bool RoundToFraction
)
C++/CLI 
void SetUnits( 
&   System.short UType,
&   System.short FractBase,
&   System.short FractDenom,
&   System.short SigDigits,
&   System.bool RoundToFraction
)

Parameters

UType
Model units as defined in swLengthUnit_e
FractBase

Decimal vs. fraction as defined in swFractionDisplay_e

FractDenom

Used only for fractional inches and is the denominator for the smallest fraction to be used, for example, 64 for 1/64

SigDigits

Significant digits if using decimal units

RoundToFraction

Flag denoting whether or not to round to the fraction; for example, if 4 is the denominator value given in fractDenom and the actual value is 0.27, it is rounded to 0.25

Example

Remarks

Fractional units are only valid if UType is swINCHES or swFEETINCHES.
