All,

I'm trying to do some error-checking with some rasters I'm creating, and want to measure line distances on the map in feet, rather than meters - which is what the measure line tool seems to be 'stuck' at.

Thanks!

If you go to Settings -> Options there is a Map Tools tab, on that tab you change your preferred units for the measure tool from meters to feet.
