How to get the Unit String of the active Project Unit system using ACT?

Ayush Kumar

This can be requested using JavaScript:

cmd = """unit_str = DS.UnitSystem.UnitString (DS.Script.id_utLENGTH); returnFromScript(unit_str)"""
unit_str = ExtAPI.Application.ScriptByName("jscript").ExecuteCommand(cmd)

For other units one can replace id_utLENGTH accordingly. Eg:

• id_utANGLE
• id_utVOLUME ...

Direct method:

ExtAPI.DataModel.CurrentUnitFromQuantityName("Length")  # Enter quantity name
