Relationship between: File Settings > Working Units: (a) Linear Units vs (b) Advanced Settings Resolution vs (c) GCS defined units (Geographic Coordinate System)

Hey All,

Just wanted to ask if folks out there can define the 3 types of units of measure that are displayed in Design File Settings and GCS. Please define what the Linear Units are, the Advanced Settings Resolution units are, and what the GCS units are. Also, what is their relationship with one another?

Linear Units: Are these what you are reading out when measuring? So when I have XY coordinates displayed, they're supposed to be displaying values in whatever unit of measure is listed for Linear?

Advanced Settings Resolution Units: I understand what resolution is, but where does the unit of measure come into play, and more importantly, what is the relationship between this and the Linear Units unit of measure? I assume these and the linear units should match, although I have heard of circumstances where they differ.

GCS: Establishing your GCS is to the effect that you're saying what projection/coordinate system your data is in
