In my organization we're about to move GIS-users from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro (3.X). The users are doing a lot of editing and I have a question about the function "On-screen contraints" and how to set the direction unit. The On-Screen Contraints is very useful, but I'd really like the direction units to be set to the unit Gon. Does anyone know if it's possible? I've tried changing the angular units in both the application- and project-options, with no luck and the direction units seems to only allow polar, azimuth, or quadrant bearing units.i

Hi @TorbjørnDalløkken2 ,

Try setting it here: Units > Direction Units > Direction Base Units > Direction Formatting Dialog > Direction Base Unit drop-down. Hint, within the Direction units table, double-click on the example value in the format column to get to the Direction Formatting Dialog. Or just watch this gif:
