ArcGIS Pro cursor coordinates

Hi, this might be very simple problem, but still I need help!

Problem is with these 'cursor coordinates' in map view. Is shows WGS 1984 Web Mercator coordinates (i think).

I have tried to change coordinate system in 'Map Properties' and 'ArcGIS Pro Options' but still it won't changes these values! And layers I use are ETRS 1989 GK22FIN or EUREF FIN TM35FIN.

I use version 2.3.3.

sounds like you need to set the coordinate system of the map display to the projected coordinate system you want. It looks like it is set to a geographic coordinate system (GCS WGS84 perhaps). Then set the map units to meters

Thanks Dan! I needed to change map units to meters in map display. Now it works!

Hi! Did you really find the way to fix that issue? I was not able to find a way to change the units. My units are fixed in the WGS84 system and it doesn´t matter how many times I try to change the coordinate system in Options or the Map properties, it never works.
