Get measurement units???

[Andresig]

I am making some routines in VBA

I need to know the units of the drawings I recieve so I can setup the variables.

I have found a class named AcMeasurementUnit but dont know how to retrieve the info in it.

Please... help.

thanks!

Are you maybe after something like this

(defun civ_units ()
(SETQ ANGBASEE (GETVAR "ANGBASE"))
(SETQ ANGDIRR (GETVAR "ANGDIR"))
(SETQ LUNITSS (GETVAR "LUNITS"))
(SETQ LUPRECC (GETVAR "LUPREC"))
(SETQ AUNITSS (GETVAR "AUNITS"))
(SETQ AUPRECC (GETVAR "AUPREC"))
(SETVAR "LUNITS" 2)
(SETVAR "ANGBASE" 0.0)
(SETVAR "ANGDIR" 0)
(SETVAR "LUPREC" 0)
(SETVAR "AUNITS" 0)
(SETVAR "AUPREC" 0)
)
(defun old_civ_units ()
(SETVAR "LUNITS" lunitss)
(SETVAR "ANGBASE" angbasee)
(SETVAR "ANGDIR" angdirr)
(SETVAR "LUPREC" luprecc)
(SETVAR "AUNITS" aunitss)
(SETVAR "AUPREC" auprecc)
)

probably will meet you needs may just need a few more variables.

Dim MUnits As Integer
 
MUnits = ThisDrawing.GetVariable("lunits")
 
 
 If MUnits = 2 Then
        MsgBox MUnits & " Drawing in Milimeters"
Else
        MsgBox MUnits & " Drawing in Inches"
End If
