Is there a Unit Conversion API in Autocad .NET ?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I know that autocad drawings do use "units" internally and are not bound to a milimeters or whatever other specific unit. But you can set the drawings units in the format menu, which I suppose is like saying "Hey, you should interpret the "units" as "milimeters/meters/inches/miles...".

AFAIK in the API I can get "Aunits" and "Insunits" which I suppose are the units that should be used in the interpretation of tha drawing. What is the difference between both?

Does Autocad .NET provide any conversion APIs so that I can transform, for example, a line length, from the current unit to another one? I see there is a UnitConverter class but I can't figure out how to use it and I can't find any documentation or examples about this.

Thank you very much.

I found it, just in case someone has the same problem:

UnitsConverter.GetConversionFactor(UnitsValue from, UnitsValue to);

This method gives you the required multiplier to do the conversion. Building a conversion class is trivial now.
