c. Enter any job name that you wish in the Job

Name field and tap Next > .

d. For this example, simply accept the default job

settings and tap Next > .

Note: When creating a new job, it is important that the

Units for Distances field be set to the correct units. This
allows you to seamlessly switch between different units
in mid-job.

Problems can arise if these units are inadvertently set to

the incorrect units when entering new data. For
example, assume a new job was created by hand-

entering a list of coordinates where the job was set to

International Feet and the coordinates being entered were

in US Survey Feet. Now assume you created another
new job and correctly set it to US Survey Feet. If you then

imported the hand-entered points from the other job,
they would be converted to different units when no conversion should

have taken place. Depending on the magnitude of the imported
coordinates, the error after the conversion could be significant.
