Let me get this straight now. You went to the SURVEY pulldown, selected LEGAL DESCRIPTION WRITER and then you clicked on the AREA radio button, you then put "1" in the box next to ACRES and set the number of decimal places. Then you put a number 2 in the box that says SQUARE FEET, set the number of decimal places and deleted all other numbers in the order boxes and it still reports s.m.?
The new settings should stay set for all future drawings, so create a new drawing under a new project. Draw a closed polygon and try the routine again. Does it do the same in the new drawing. (Sometimes you have to do a "hard boot' by creating a new environment before the new settings will work.)
If all else fails you can download the latest build from this web site. Don't worry, it will NOT overwrite any of your custom stuff. (I thought it would too until I HAD to do it and everything went smooth as silk. Did not have to reregister or anything.)
