Converting a node''s MeasurementUnits

[Ron Alan Sawyer]

I am saving a diagram to a database. All was working well until I found that if you change a diagram's measurement units in the middle of creating a diagram, the nodes will all have different measurement units.

e.g. I start with a diagram whose measurement unit is pixels. I lay down two nodes. They both have measurement units as pixels. I then change the diagram's measurement units to inches and lay down another node. It's new measurement unit is now inches.

I want to store them all as with pixel measurement unit.

How do I convert?

Hi RAS,

You can set your nodes properties as follows when you want that their MeasureUnits should never change.

********
Node some_node;

some_node.MeasurementUnit = MeasureUnits.Inch;
some_node.InheritContainerMeasureUnits = false;

********

The above code will ensure that the MeasureUnit for the Node "some_node" will always remain to "Inch" irrespective of Model's MeasureUnits.

Attached with this mail is my sample file for the same.

Let me know if you shall need any further clarifications here.

Happy Coding!
