Unfortunately, you will have to manually change it as we can't embed or control the Ground to Grid other than what I showed above, via a step in a Task.  We will look into making this more accessible via Tasks in the future.  ... View more

Hey @RobertChaney  So I did some investigating of the data and here is what I found.  It doesn't look like the Distance rounding is the primary culprit.  It looks like it's the Direction field.  Let me start with what I think might be path forward for your data then I'll get into the nitty gritty of what is happening behind the scenes.  I would suggest not running the Delete Identical option during the Upgrade.  Instead, run it manually after upgrade is complete.  The Upgrade ArcMap tool simply runs the GP Delete Identical so running it after will be basically the same except you can control the fields it uses to compare more specifically.  If you do not care about the Direction and Distance field values, you can just run the Delete Identical tool and use SHAPE as the field it checks against. However, if you are concerned about the Distance fields you can run the delete identical against: SHAPE, DISTANCE, ARCLENGTH, and even CREATEDBYRECORD.  However you might need to round your distance fields to a lower decimal place, and if you don't want to modify the surveyed data you can create a new field and compute the Distance values over there and round the values in that field.  Then use that newly created field in the Delete Identical.  Let me know if that will be a good workflow for you! Ok... now for some nerdy numbers... When looking at the Direction field I noticed the decimal values went over 10 places.  And during the Upgrade ArcMap tool what happens if you choose to Delete Identical is that I will create two new fields; one that stores the Direction field minus 180 if it's a angle that is greater than 180 and two a distance field that is rounded to 4 decimal places.  I then use those two fields, plus the CREATEDBYRECORD, RETIREDBYRECORD and SHAPE field in the parameter for Delete Identical.  With that being said looking at the Direction Field, rounding to 6 decimal places the values still differed between the two lines.  Use these lines as an example You can see on the left the UpgradeDirectionMinus180 fields differ between the two lines.  And the Direction values that are stored have huge precision.  Seeing this makes me think that these full raw values aren't necessarily important to you so running Delete Identical simply against the shape of the line features might be a viable option for you.  Hopefully all this makes some sense.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  ...
