Can the SDK access user preferences for stroke weight?

Thanks, Milos, that's related but not quite what I'm looking for. Until recently, my plugins only needed input on very small distances, so points were adequate for getting measurements. A more recent plugin uses larger values to measure or move an object, so it's much easier for users to use inches or mm. For this, I use sAIUser->IUAIRealToStringUnits and sAIUser->IUStringToAIReal to convert between the points the SDK needs and whatever units the user wants to work in.

Now when users who use mm also specify stroke widths, they want to specify it in mm as well. If I simply capture user units, then other users may be left specifying a stroke weight in inches. Adobe was wise to have a separate preference for stroke weight, aside from the general unit preference.

What I did in the meantime is that the plugin saves its own user preference and does its own math to convert to/from pt/mm when needed. The value in the text field gets "mm" or "pt" appended to it, and when it reads it again, it looks for those same characters to interpret the value.

I just thought it would be a better user experience to just blend in with whatever Illustrator's prefs for strokes were set to.
