I pulled several layers together in a blank Arcinfo session. I thought the coordinate system would be established by the first layer opened, which was the layer I was working on. Today I did the same thing and it's working fine.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 25 Feb 2013 14:22:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/length-value-wrong/m-p/84655#M4887 DustinHolt 2013-02-25T14:22:23Z
