Handling fractional dimensions within a script.

[macmanpb]

What is the best way to get a decimal from a fractional dimension.

In the design the dim is entered like >>3"/15<<. Is FusionUnitsManager the key or have i do something more to convert them back and forth?

Hi Mr. MacManPB,

Internally dimensions of length are represented as a value of centimeters and handled via a structure called  Parameter Object. 

Thus,

- parameter. value stores ... well length value

- parameter. unit stores ... well, instruction haw the value is presented via an interface.

   Changing it will result in the appropriate display outcome.

- parameter.expression is ... the third leg complementing the schema.
