Description
Function Num2StrF converts a specified REAL value into a string. The numeric value will be converted and displayed in the current unit settings of the drawing.
FUNCTION Num2StrF(
vDistance :REAL) : STRING;
def vs.Num2StrF(vDistance): return STRING
Parameters
vDistance REAL Numeric value.
Remarks
IMPORTANT NOTE: whether or not you get unit marks appended to the returned string value depends on a user-accessible Show Marks setting in the Units dialog box (CMP)
This appears not to work as advertised. The string value returned appears to be in inches no matter the unit settings of the document.
Example
VectorScript
oldnumValue:=23.45; newStrValue:=Num2StrF(oldnumValue); {would return 1'-11 1/2"}
