Hello, happy new year !

Is it possible to choose units via API for a machining project ?
Or do I have to select the unit in my APT file ?

What do you mean by units? RoboDK uses MM by default and it can load machining programs (APT or NC files) that have been set with other units. Most machining projects specify the units and RoboDK will understand the units that are being used.

If the units are not set in my APT file, what options do I have to inform RoboDK of the correct unit? Is setting the unit inside the APT file my only solution? Or can I manually set a unit in a machining project with API ?

If you want to specify MM as units you should add this line at the top of your APT machining file:

Code:

UNITS/ MM

Alternatively, if you want to specify Inches as units you should add this instead:

Code:

UNITS/ INCH
