UI unit conversion

[Nick Riviera]

Hi,

how to convert the number x and y to the selected unit of the dropdown list...
if I choose mm, the new document  created must have 100 x 200 mm
or if I choose cm, the new document created  must have 10 x 20 cm

Thanks!

var x = 100; // 100 mm || 10 cm
var y = 200; // 200 mm || 20 cm
var unit = ["Millimeters","Centimeters"];
                
                w = new Window("dialog", "New Document");
                d = w.add("group");
                choseUnit = d.add("dropdownlist", undefined, unit);
                choseUnit.selection = choseUnit.items[0];
                btnOk = d.add("button", undefined, "OK");
                btnCancel = d.add("button", undefined, "Cancel");
                w.show();
        
        unit = choseUnit.selection.text;
        var presets = app.startupPresetsList;
        var preset = presets[0];
        var docPreset = new DocumentPreset();
        docPreset.width = x;
        docPreset.height = y;
        docPreset.colorMode = DocumentColorSpace.CMYK;
        docPreset.units = RulerUnits[unit];
        var newDoc = app.documents.addDocument(preset, docPreset, false);

AI deals with points.  So change your first two lines to

var f = 2.835;
var x = 100 * f;
var y = 200 * f;

And that's that.
