Internal Units

Alibre Design works in centimeters internally, so we much convert our cube dimension accordingly. It doesn't matter what units the user prefers because Alibre Design will convert to those units from centimeters automatically. We just need to get the measurements into Alibre Design in centimeters. We'll also set up some other data here.

' Internal Units & other variables
Dim dimension As Double = 2.54D  ' 2.54 cm = 1 in. 
Dim filePath As String = "c:/"
Dim partName As String = "MyCube"

// Internal Units & other variables
double dimension = 2.54D;  // 2.54 cm = 1 in. 
string filePath = "c:/";
string partName = "MyCube";
