ArcGIS Pro: How to set the default unit for map to be in meter,
I couldn’t figure out how to set the default unit for map to be in meter
Actually, on second thoughts, I belive that my facetious comment was actually true. That "Default" button does actually do something different to what I thought, and I believe that it does actually work as intended.
Note that the "Units" options are under the "Current Project" category of Options! If I change the default Location Units while in an open project, then it DOES actually work for any new map opened WITHIN THAT CURRENT PROJECT.
If I open a new project, then that will have reverted to ESRI's default.
What we really need, is a default setting that is universal, and not per-project (ie, what most people expect "Default" to mean!).
I had the same problem in 2.8 and am still having the same problem in 3.0.3. It seems that ESRI has no interest is fixing this one.
I will also log a job with technical support as I'm thoroughly sick of having to manually select my preferred location units for EVERY SINGLE MAP !!!
Or perhaps that "Default" button in the ArcGIS Pro has some other purpose, and I'm mis-understanding what it is supposed to do.
This issue persists to exist in 2.9.
Despite the fact that the “location unit” is set to be “meters”, as the project starts the default is kept at “decimal degree”.
Also, we need this setting to be at the level of application but not at level of aprx
There should be a bug here! If you set them as “meter” and the Pro is closed and then open, the “meter” gets back to “foot” in its own. It doesn’t preserve the option set.
The example I showed was for setting them both and it worked in ArcGIS Pro 2.5
There should be a bug here! As the “distance units” and “location units” are set to be “meter”, they get back to the native default in their own!
What cloud be the issue here?

I tried meter for the “distance units” and “location units” and they both get back in their own. Is this a bug?
what are your location units? you might want to check them all Jamal
I selected the Meter option but Pro gets back to Feet in its own!
Is this a bug?
Project, properties under Units
