    Maybe I'm dense, but I can't seem to be able to get the value of a dimension
    that is currently highlighted or selected. If the value is 2.5, then I want
    2.5 and not <DIM>. Anybody know how to get it?

    Thanks,

    Mr. Pickles

    I guess you're using DisplayDimension::GetText, but i'd you found a bug that
    should be reported
    try DisplayDimension::GetDimension, then Dimension::GetValue, which will
    return meters
    Then you'll have to play with Units if you really want a string.
