Ahh oke,.. than this is where solutiuon A raises problems.

I make my scripts in VB.Net and .net is not willing to make that cast (string to double and other way around)

When i use this code:

REM strLineWidth is a normal declared string, declared some lines above
REM myFrame is a instance of a frame, wich is accesable
strLineWidth = "3 mm"
myFrame.StrokeWeight = strLineWidth


This gives the following exception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll

Additional information: Cast from string "3 mm" to type 'Double' is not valid.


So,.. i guess Dot Net won't eat this kind of overloads and casts.
I'll have to use plan B instead :)

Thanx for your help!
