oPropHandler.SelectByAccessString("Width"), oPropHandler.SelectByAccessString("Height"), and oPropHandler.SelectByAccessString("LineSpacing") get the metric unit values using Debug.Print oPropHandler.displGetValue & " " & oPropHandler.GetDisplayString. My Design File Settings>Working Units isin MU Format with Master Unit set to feet. For example a Height and Width of 7.5 and Line Spacing of 1.6404 on the Element Information screen produces 2.286 and 0.5, respectivly- a factor of 3.2808. This is consistent behavior. Where is retrieving or calculating the metric unit equivalent? I have tested in in VBA and .NET with the same results.
