Layout units?

[Anonymous]

OK, first off this IS a request for a .net equivalent to a vba tool (or
option/setting if you prefer).



In VBA I used this to determine the units (Metric or imperial)..



ThisDrawing.PaperSpace.Layout.PaperUnits





I've found a few settings that "seem" to be what I'm after but so far
they aren't working so I must be barking up the wrong tree.

Can someone please tell me what I need to use to get this info in .NET?



One side note, yes I do realize .NET is not the same as VBA (hence why
I am here asking).

bt = trans.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)

btrSpace = trans.GetObject(bt(BlockTableRecord.PaperSpace), OpenMode.ForRead)

Dim lay As Layout = trans.GetObject(btrSpace.LayoutId, OpenMode.ForRead)

Dim unit As PlotPaperUnit = lay.PlotPaperUnits



should get you close...

Thank you!



That is exactly what I was after (looks like I was close..  the whole
"plotpaperunits"..  just didn't know how to use it.



Thank you again.
