Function IGetUnits() As System.Short

Dim instance As IModelDoc2
Dim value As System.Short
 
value = instance.IGetUnits()

System.short IGetUnits()

System.short IGetUnits(); 

Return Value

• in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of 5 shorts (see Remarks)

The format of the returned data is an array of shorts:

 [ LengthUnit, FractionBase, FractionValue, SignificantDigits, RoundToFraction ]

where:

•  LengthUnit =  current model units as defined in swLengthUnit_e.

•  FractionBase =  decimal or fraction as defined in swFractionDisplay_e; fractional units are only valid if the model units are set to swINCHES or swFEETINCHES.

•  FractionValue = denominator value if using fractional units.

•  SignificantDigits =  significant digits if using decimal units.

•  RoundToFraction =  flag denoting whether or not to round to the fraction; for example, if 4 was the denominator value and the actual value was .27, it is rounded to .25

You can also use IModelDoc2::LengthUnit, which provides access to the LengthUnit parameter.
