UnitsOfMeasure

UnitsOfMeasure is an enumeration used by the SilverSharp routines which expect a measurement type.

C# Code

enum UnitsOfMeasure

{

Feet = 1,

Inches,

Meters,

Centimeters,

Millimeter,

Generic,

};

Members

Name	Description
Centimeters	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one centimeter
Feet	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one foot
Generic	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one abstract mathematical unit.
Inches	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one inch
Meters	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one meter
Millimeters	One unit in the drawing is equivalent to one millimeter

Example

The following code shows how a Notation enumeration is used

C# Code

SS_XYZ p1 = new SS_XYZ(5.0,6.0,7.0);

SC.ss_command("note p1 is {0}",

p1.ToString(Notation.Architect, UnitsOfMeasure.Inches));

Remarks

The distance represented by one unit in a SilverScreen drawing depends upon the drawing's unit of measure. See Notation for an example.
