int GetUnits()

int GetUnits(); 

Return Value

Units for this display dimension as defined in swLengthUnits_e or swAngleUnits_e

The unit display setting of a 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 false, then IDisplayDimension::GetUnits returns -1.

If this display dimension uses the local unit information, then the return value indicates the units used with a value from swLengthUnits_e (length measurement) or swAngleUnits_e (angle measurement). If this display dimension uses settings from the document, then DisplayDimension::GetUnits method returns -1.

Use IDisplayDimension::SetUnits to set the unit setting of a display dimension.
