Examples
This example shows how to convert a Size instance into a string representation using a specific separator parameter. The result is affected by the value of the advanced option: XS_USE_ONLY_INCHES_IN_SHEET_SIZES. In order for this advanced option to work, set the advanced options XS_IMPERIAL and XS_IMPERIAL_INPUT to TRUE. If the advanced option XS_USE_ONLY_INCHES_IN_SHEET_SIZES is set to TRUE the result would display as: 17" by 10"1/2 but if set to FALSE it would display as: 431.8 by 266.7
using Tekla.Structures.Drawing;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           // For this demonstration, we'll format 431.8x266.7 millimeters.
           Size size = new Size(431.8, 266.7);

           string formattedString = size.ToString(" by ");
       }
}
