Any way to change settings in Options with a Script?

Scripting
1

Good morning Rhino people,

I have the feeling I know the answer, but is there any way to change settings in Options with a script? For example, can one write a script that would change the Distance display from Fractional to Feet and Inches?

Thank you.

Something like the following should work for what you want:

Call ChangeUnitDisplayToFractional()
Sub ChangeUnitDisplayToFractional()
    Dim uSys : uSys = Rhino.UnitSystem()
    If uSys = 8 Or uSys = 9 Then
        Call Rhino.UnitDistanceDisplayMode(2)
    Else
        Call Rhino.Print("Unit system must be set to either inches or feet")
    End If
End Sub

These commands are not yet available in Python rhinoscriptsyntax…

Thank you, Mitch. I have colleagues who give me dimensions in feet and inches and others – in inches. There’s no consistency. Making an alias that would toggle this will be great.

I really appreciate it.
