Index
Unit Setup dialog
Note:  This dialog box is available as a tab on the Location Setup dialog box.
Units
Allows you to change between Imperial and Metric Units. Other units (chains, paces etc.) are supported by changing the registry entries (see Units).
Direction
Allows you to change the angular reporting format.  The most common setting is Degrees, Minutes and Seconds.
Slopes
Allows you to change the slope reporting format.
Cut/Fill Slopes
Allows you to change the reporting format specifically for cut/fill slopes (for example, those defined in the cross section template).
Stationing
Allows you to change the station reporting format.
Angle Units
Toggles the display of degrees, minutes and seconds symbols.  When off, a colon is substituted for the symbol.
Currency
Type the currency symbol you would like to use for cost calculations.
Decimals for Reporting
Allows you to set the number of significant figures for display of various computed values.
Slope Ratio
Design Slopes can be expressed as slope Ratio (eg. 1:3). This combo box allows you to set the format.
Note that gentle slopes will display as Slope % even if Ratio has been chosen above. For example: 12.5% will display as 8:1 (or 1:8), but 5% will display as 5 (or 5% with Angle Units on).
Save as Default
This button will cause all the available units options to be saved in the registry and used as defaults for other modules.
