Accessed by choosing the Tools | Program Settings, Units tab.
This dialog displays units used throughout the program and tied specifically to the Distance Units selected here.
TPC keeps track of separate units values for feet vs chains vs meters.
Distance Units
Choose from feet, chains or meters. This controls all coordinates, distances and sizes (inches or mm).
This sets the current survey units and sets the default units for any new surveys created. If the current survey already has data and you change the Distance Units, you will be prompted to convert the units. You can choose not to if you want.
Abbreviation, Square Units
You can change the unit text displayed in the program. These are used throughout the program in Drawing View and reports.
Area, Area Factor
You can enter your own area factor, which TPC will use to convert square units into the area type you specified. Example values are as follows:
Area Area Factor
Acres 43560
Hectares 10000
