Finding Display Units and Fractional Display Precision?

[Ixath]

I'd like my plugin to automatically use the information on the INTERFACE -> DISPLAY UNITS page (Linear Units, Decimal Places, and Fractional Display Precision) so I can format my text boxes to match the users current setup...but I can't figure out where these values are stored.

Is this something I'm able to do? If so, where is the data stored?

I was thinking I could read from a pre-existing config file if I had to, but nothing I saw contained this data either. I think I'm just blind?

edit:

So it looks like I might have found where to start:  Autodesk.Navisworks.Internal.ApiImplementation.ApplicationConfig... or not.

Hi,

The officcial .NET API has not exposed the abilities with Global Options. You could get the values from registry at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage x64\11.0\GlobalOptions\interface\disp_units

Additionally, does the API currently expose the ability to access the specific per file/model unit as specified under the "Units and Transform" dialog accessable via the Selection Tree?

.NET API provides Document.Units and Model.Units.

Somewhy in NW Manage x64 2014 GlobalOptions doesn't exist at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage x64\11.0\ on Windows 8 machine. Can these settings be hiden elsewhere?

You can read it.

This is for converting to mm:

double conv = UnitConversion.ScaleFactor(Application.MainDocument.Units, Units.Millimeters);
