Units
Below is an example creating a custom unit system:
// Find the unit service
IUnitService us;
us = CoreSystem.GetService();
// Get the current catalog
IUnitCatalog catalog = service.GetCatalog(null);
// Define the name and description of my custom unit system.
string name = “My Unit System”;
string desc = “Custom units system for my module.”
// Create a dictionary of my custom units.
IDictionary map = new Dictionary();
// Define the units I want in my system.
map[“Length”] = “ft”;
map[“Pressure”] = “bar”;
map[“Temperature”] = “degF”;
// Create my custom unit system.
IUnitSystem myUnitSystem = catalog.CreateSystem(name, desc, map);
Unit Measurement
The IUnitMeasurement interface is used to access measurement properties and
methods. You can navigate the measurement hierarchy and acquire all units available for a
measurement. Here is the definition for IUnitMeasurement:
public interface IUnitMeasurement
{
IUnitMeasurement BaseMeasurement { get; }
IEnumerable Children { get; }
string Description { get; }
string Name { get; }
IUnitMeasurement Parent { get; }
IEnumerable Units { get; }
}
