Comments
The following annotation objects utilize one or more rulers as part of the annotation:
ANNOBJECT_RULER
ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER
ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR
ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT
In addition, the Automation object (ANNOBJECT_AUTOMATION) stores default unit settings along with the other object default settings.
The default unit of measure for ruler, polyruler, and crossproduct objects is smart English. With the smart units, the unit changes with the length. For example, if the length is 11 inches (assuming the default precision of 2 is being used), "11.00 in" displays whereas if the length is 15 inches, "1 ft 3.00 in" displays. Call the L_AnnSetUnit function to set the unit of measurement and its precision for the ruler. The precision indicates how many digits to display to the right of the decimal point in the length. Call the L_AnnGetUnit function to get the unit of measurement and its precision for the ruler. The L_AnnGetDistance2 function gets the length of each ruler that makes up an object, and the total length of all rulers.
To find out the size of the buffer required by pUnitAbbrev, call the L_AnnGetUnitLen function.
