Custom bend allowance is in meters?

Amen Allah Jlili Jun 15, 2016 10:11 AM

Can anyone explain to me why the bend allowance, bend deducation from the custombendallowance interface are in meters while the measurement system is MMGS?

Hi Amen,

Pretty much all dimension values in SolidWorks API are in meters (except of some method like IDimension::GetValue) regardless the currently selected user units. You can use IUserUnits interface to transform the values to the user units if needed: #CODE|Units Conversion

Thanks,
Artem

That's very strange because Thickness and Bend Radius from the the object feature data types are in inches or mm.
