I want to display GeometricBounds with measurement unit.
What is the best way for that.
In the example of vbscript, String with unit is permitted.
 ex) myOval.GeometricBounds = Array("6p", "6p", "18p", "18p")
But I don't know how to get that string with unit from GeometricBounds variable.

Should I transfer GeometricBounds number value to string by myself?
It has some problem.
Point or inch is easy, because we just add "pt or in" end of number
 -> 17.2 in, 8.5p
But in case of such like picas, We have to insert "p" into the among the number
 -> 49p7.276
It's complex problem.
Is there any clear and easy solution?
