UnitsOfMeasure.GetStringFromType Method

Parent Object: UnitsOfMeasure

Description

Given a unit type from the UnitsTypeEnum as input, this method returns the string that can be used to specify the same unit type.

Remarks

For example if you input k kInchLengthUnits it will return the string "in." If one of the default unit types is specified, (kDefaultDisplayLengthUnits, kDefaultDisplayAngleUnits, kDefaultDisplayMassUnits, kDefaultDisplayTimeUnits, or kDefaultDisplayTemperatureUnits) this will return the string corresponding to the document default for that unit type. This method is currently not supported when the UnitsOfMeasure object was obtained using Apprentice.
