To Specify Measurement Units

Use the Units settings to specify project units including coordinate zone, distance, angle, direction, temperature, and pressure.

Note: The survey database units are independent from the drawing units. If the survey database units and drawing units are different, the survey data is transformed when it is inserted into the drawing.

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, expand the Survey Databases collection, right-click on the database name, and click Edit Survey Database Settings.
2. In the Survey Database Settings dialog box, expand the Units property group.
3. For the Coordinate Zone property, click and select the zone in the Select Coordinate Zone dialog box.
4. For the other unit settings, click the drop-down list and select the value for the unit type that you want to modify.

   For more information about the settings, see the Units section of the Survey Database Settings dialog box.
