Choose Project Settings

Use the Project Settings dialog to set various parameters for your projects, including settings for coordinate systems, units, computations, and views. For a description of any setting, click the name of the setting. The description appears in the information box at the bottom of the dialog. For explanations of terms, see the Glossary after the help chapters.

Tip:Save time and effort, and make your projects more consistent, by choosing project settings and then saving the project as a template from which to begin other projects. You can also save baseline processing and network adjustment settings as "styles", which are similar to templates. Share templates and styles with co-workers to ensure consistency across your company.

1. Select Project Settings in the Quick Access Toolbar.

   The Project Settings dialog appears.
