Regarding scaling in AutoCAD

[SaddamShaikh77]

Hello forum,

I am scaling AutoCAD block as below.

var ln=83.375/4.1917; //(6'11"6) converted to inches as (6*12+11+6/16)=83.375

var ht=28.875/1.4517; //(2'4"14) converted to inches as (2*12+4+14/16)=28.875

blockRef.ScaleFactors = new Scale3d(ln, ht, 1);

After scaling block, I should get (6'11"6) and (2'4"14) in output. But I am getting it as (6'11"3/8) and (2'4"7/8) which is shown in the image below

Can somebody please assist me to achieve required dimension?

Thank you.

Hi @SaddamShaikh77 

actually this uncommon unit format is a bit confusing, if you could post the problem in metric would be be easier to follow.

Hi,

6'11"6 is not a valid format.

83.375, converted to inches with the architectural format returns: 6'-11 3/8,and with the engineering format, it returns 6'-11.375"

Have a look at the Converter.DistanceToString method.
