ArcPro Change Length / Trim to Length tool no longer is accurate

[BrendonJoyce1]

Hi all,

Recently in my line layers, my "Change Length" tool no longer gives me accurate numbers.

Example, if I create a line of 20 feet (using the distance option which works) then finish the sketch with two vertices, then I modify that line, choose Change Length, and change it to 10 feet, it now reduces the length to 3 feet.

If I did the same with 40 ft to 20 ft, it'd be 6 feet.

Is there some setting that got changed with ArcPro? I would love to not have to factory reset the program since I have done quite a bit of customization, but I may have to. This does not happen on people editing the same data on different machines either.

Version: ArcPro 2.9.2

What is the coordinate system of the data?  And is it a projected coordinate system?

@BrendonJoyce1 Try making sure the map's Display Units match the Map Units:

Thank you @DanPatterson and @Scott_Harris , I am in UTM and had changed the display units to decimal degrees in order to spot check some lat longs I was applying to fire hydrants to give to a department.

Simply changing the dropdown has it back to normal.

Cheers!
