about the system unit.........
about the system unit.........
how can i set the system units ?such as "metric" and "english(feet and inches)". i found that if i do not set system units ,the default unit is "metric".
the functions oddbdatabase::initialize() and oddbhostappservices::createdatabase() take as an argument the measurement type.
i think there is also a variable which you can set and get after creating the drawing database:
oddbdatabase::setmeasurement() and oddbdatabase::getmeasurement();
hope this helps.
best regards

note that some default database objects are created differently depending on measurement. for example dimension style "standard" or "iso-25".
it would be better to pass correct value to oddbdatabase::initialize().
