FusionUnitsManager.convert Method
Parent Object:
FusionUnitsManagerDefined in namespace "adsk::fusion" and the header file is <Fusion/Fusion/FusionUnitsManager.h>
Description
Converts a value from one unit to another. The input and output unit specifiers must be compatible. For example, "in" (inches) and "cm" (centimeters) will work because they both define length. So Convert(1.5, "in", "ft") -> 0.125 Convert(1.5, unitsManager.defaultLengthUnits, "cm") -> depends on the current default distance units, with "mm" it gives 0.15 So Convert(1.5, "in", "kg") -> -1 and GetLastError returns ExpressionError (to denote error) So Convert(1, "in", "internalUnits") -> 2.54 So Convert(1, "internalUnits", "in") -> 0.3937...
