Rulers with mm and decimal point

[relapse]

Hi, I'd like to adjust the viewer so that the rulers are shown with mm as the standard unit and the numbers are with decimal point instead of fraction line. How could I achieve it programmatically?


Thanks a lot!

Hi Relapse,

I believe these are the two you need:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Measurement.Rulers.Visible", "true", 0);
SetProperty("Measurement.Units", "mm", 0);

Units possible values:
cm,
in,
mm,
p (picas),
pt (points)

Best,
Stefan

Thank you, Stefan! It functions! But what is with the decimal point? It's really uncomfortable to see the fractions with a line instead of a point.

Hi relapse,

Could you please show me a screenshot of this?
When you have the unit set to mm - there should be 0 10 20 ... ect mm measurements shown in the rulers and no fractions of mms.

Or is it the fractions that are shown for inches?
In this case you can turn them off with

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Measurement.Rulers.ShowFractions", "false", 0);

And I just found out this older topic where Vasyl has listed all the Measurement options:

(As you have noticed they are not documented in the manual)

Best,

Thanks a lot! It was exactly what I needed!

And I've noted your link for the future.
