I have a contour shapefile that was originally created in WGS84 ESPG: 4326/meter. I used the Project tool to convert to a NAD 83 XY and a NAVD88 (us ft) in hopes that it would display in CAD in feet. How do I get a shapefile to properly convert to feet?

If you want the contours to be in feet, then you need to contour a dem that is in feet... unless you just want the numbers to change, then that is a labelling issue
