Parameters

UseDoc

True to use the document settings for units, false to use the setting values passed to this method (see Remarks)

UType

Unit display setting as defined in swLengthUnits_e or swAngleUnits_e; valid only if UseDoc is false

FractBase

Decimal or fraction display setting as defined in swFractionDisplay_e; valid only if UseDoc is false

FractDenom

Denominator for fraction display; valid only if UseDoc is false

RoundToFraction

True to round values to the nearest fraction, false to display fractions only if the values are exact; valid only if UseDoc is false

DecimalRounding

Decimal rounding as defined by swUnitsDecimalRounding_e; valid only if FractBase is swFractionDisplay_e.swDECIMAL and UseDoc is false

Return Value

The unit display settings of a display dimension are controlled by a value stored in one of two places: in the owning document or in the individual display dimension. This method allows you to determine which setting to use, the document default or the values specified by UType, FractBase, FractDenom, RoundToFraction, and DecimalRounding.

If UseDoc is true, then the display dimension unit information follows the document settings, and SOLIDWORKS ignores the remaining arguments. SOLIDWORKS also removes any local settings so that if you switch back to the local settings, they are set to default values.

UType indicates the units. Depending on the type of dimension (angular or linear), this parameter takes a value from swLengthUnits_e or swAngleUnits_e. If the specified value is invalid, SOLIDWORKS does not change the existing setting, and this method returns an error.

FractBase indicates whether the dimension is displayed as a fraction or a decimal. SOLIDWORKS displays the dimension as a fraction only if it can precisely represent the dimension as a fraction based on the FractDenom setting. However, if the RoundToFraction argument is true, then SOLIDWORKS displays the dimension rounded to the nearest fraction.

FractDenom indicates the fraction precision by specifying the largest fraction denominator used (for example, 4 for 1/4 or 32 for 1/32). Fraction display is valid only if UType is swINCHES or swFEETINCHES.

The return value indicates the success or failure of this method as follows:
