You have your alignments and parcels created. You see there are Reporting Utilities under the General pull

down menu. You expand the Alignment reports, right click General Legal Description For Alignments and

execute the report. Why in the world is the report showing meters??!! I know I have all of my settings in feet!!

The problem is not your drawing settings, it is your LandXML Reporting Settings!

The figure 1 shows an example of the report generated by Civil 3D 2009, as it ships. Notice the distance is in

meters, followed by the conversion to feet in parentheses.

Figure 1

This cannot be changed through the drawing settings or through styles. Instead, we need to edit the Land XML

Reporting settings.

Go to the Start menu, select All programs, select Autodesk, select AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 and select LandXML

Reporting 7 (Figure 2).

In the LandXML Reporting dialog box, select the Settings tab. In this tab, expand the “Legal Descriptions”

collection. Highlight the “Report Units” item and on the right side, change the Units value to Foot (Figure 3).

Select the File pull down menu in the LandXML Reporting dialog box and select Exit. The changes are

automatically saved.

Now when you run the General Legal Description for Alignments report, the units are displayed in feet!
