When I attempt to put a 'ft' next to the entered distance the 'Add' button dims. If I type in a distance without a unit of measurement abbreviated the 'Add button does not dim, however, it automatically converts it to meters, even though my document is set-up for footage. Any suggestions?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 May 2011 21:59:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/unable-to-input-a-unit-of-measurement-when/m-p/531006#M30099 Anonymous User 2011-05-25T21:59:36Z Re: Unable to input a unit of measurement when traversing a line https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/unable-to-input-a-unit-of-measurement-when/m-p/531007#M30100 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You do not need to type in "ft", "foot" or "feet", just use the numeric value.
