How to designate geodesic distances when drawing a polygon/line using Direction and Distance

[TristenDenton4]

Hey Arc Community, I was hoping that someone could show me how to change my distances to geodesic when digitizing. It seems that I can only draw in planar distances on my project when I'm trying to utilize geodesic. Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated!

I think what you'll need to do is first project all your data to a geographic coordinate system like WGS84.  Then add the newly reprojected data to a new map view in ArcGIS Pro.  The map view should be recognizing that WGS84 is the GCS.  Now when you go to digitize a line, it's using a geodesic vs. planar mode.  This can be seen in my Distance/Direction tool with Horizontal, Distance and a new item Pitch.
