Why the meter “display unit” appears with direction letters (W, E, N, S) in ArcGIS Pro?

JamalNUMAN

There is a major different between ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap as the first layer is added. In ArcMap, the coordinate system of data frame is defined by the first layer added. In ArcGIS Pro, this appears not to happen.

However, I couldn’t figure out why the meter “display unit” appears with direction letters (W, E, N, S) in ArcGIS Pro. Is there a way to let them appear the same as in ArcMap?

I am suspecting that in the Pro map, the data are in Geographic Coordinates and there is no projection set, so it showsn the 'm' for meters but the geographic designators as well (ie N,S,E,W) as a clue that you can't just set a map to show meters unless the map has a defined projection.

For example, in the screenshot below, the added layer has a defined “protected coordinate system”, nevertheless, geographic designators (N,S,E,W) are still there.

Oh that's easy

My question here is why they (N, S, E, W) got visible in ArcGIS Pro while we have lived without them for years and years. Do we really need to display them now in ArcGIS Pro?
