Macro returning "units"
Here is a little macro I made for displaying area in meters instead of sq ft.
a=area*0.092903
a.round(2)
As a habit, I use the three letters own or ref to tell if the macro is to be used in an item label or attached as a referenced macro.
If I put this into a macro such as "object_area_own_metric" in an imperial drawing, and insert the macro into an enclosed polyline it returns 112.52 SQ FT. Why is it attaching the units to the output? If I use a refer
Notably missing from the Help is an example of using the NumberFormatter class. Basically it has to be created first. There's no reason to create it for every time you want to format a number - particularly if you are always going to be using the same parameters.
Here's the way I create a persistent instance of the class and how it can be used:
$NF = NumberFormatter.new
$NF.unit = "'-\""
$NF.use_fractions = true
$NF.denominator = 8
This sets the par
