Setting Units of Measure Preferences

You can change the units of measure used to represent how coordinate formats,
distance, datum, and bearing listings display. Changing these preferences affects

how units of measure display in several areas of the program: such as on the map
and in the Control Panel.
As you change your unit of measure preferences, a description of each choice
displays in the information box (in the center of the Options dialog box) immediately

after you select it.
