Units in the input value through the VCB
-
hi all, I want to ask If at the SketchUp API
Is there a way to interpret a length inserted through the VCB,
as when the translation tool is used?
for example: when the user is working on fractional inch format
and enter something like 10 1/2 or you're working in centimeters and enter something like 15.3 cm
my question is:
Does the API has some input interpreter for a length or should be built?
Thanks in advance for your help
(google translator) -
The API adds a
to_lmethod to the standardStringclass. -
