IsModifiableUnitType
Method
Description:
Checks whether the default FormatOptions can be modified for a given unit type.
Checks whether the default FormatOptions can be modified for a given unit type.
Remarks:
The Units class stores a FormatOptions object for every valid unit type, but not all of them can be directly modified. Some, like UT_Number and UT_SiteAngle, have fixed definitions. Others have definitions which are automatically derived from other unit types. For example, UT_SheetLength is derived from UT_Length and UT_ForceScale is derived from UT_Force.
