I'm working on a macro that processes dimensions in a drawing. I'm trying to retrieve the actual dimension shown on the drawing with the least manipulation. I know i can use GetSystemValue to get the value of the dim, but its not necessarily what is shown on the drawing.
Example:
Sheet dim is 0.5000
GetSystemValue returns: 0.0127
i can manipulate the value with XXX * 1000# * (1 / 25.4)
But after manipulation the new value is 0.5
I just want to retrieve the "Actual displayed dimension" ...in this example is 0.5000
