Cannot locate the Survey Feet option when selecting the Units in the Design File settings.
There is a file named units.def that contains all available unit definitions.
Here you can define the master units and sub units for various files.
This file is by default stored in the
..\workspace \system\data folder.
However, it is possible that a project or user configuration redirects these to alternate locations.
Open your units.def file. It can be found in the location specified in: Workspace>Configuration> MS_CUSTOMUNITDEF check if the line is displayed: # sf,ft,'; Survey Foot; Survey Feet; 39370.0; 12000.0; 1; 1 If so, remove the # symbol Save the Units.def file Close Microstation and reopen. Changing the units should then allow the US Survey Feet units to be displayed in Microstation.
