Topic: How to convert fraction string to a double?

[Viktor]

Hi, this time I looked everywhere before posting, I even found something seemed like should work:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Internal.ResourceUtil.StringToDouble(NewValue)
But that does not accept fractional entries either, there must be a built in function in autocad, since it does the conversion in just about every place. Anyone?

Thanks,

Off the top of my head I'd say split the string with the '/' char and then do the math.

easy peazy

Yea, I started building my own converter, but was hoping there was a more native approach to this. Autocad seems to do it so good.

There is:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Converter.StringToDistance Method (string, DistanceUnitFormat)

Thanks SEANT, that is exactly what I was looking for.
