Denominator for fraction display (see Remarks)

Remarks

The unit display settings of a display dimension are controlled by a value that SolidWorks stores in one of two places: on the owning document or on the individual display dimension. Use IDisplayDimension::GetUseDocUnits to determine whether this IDisplayDimension uses the document default or a specific value set for this IDisplayDimension.

If this display dimension uses the unit information stored locally, this method returns the largest fraction denominator to be used (for example, 4 for 1/4, or 32 for 1/32). This method returns -1 if this display dimension uses settings from the document.

Fraction display is valid only for unit types swINCHES or swFEETINCHES. In all other cases, this method returns -1. Use IDisplayDimension::SetUnits to set the units settings of a display dimension.
