As someone experienced in Dynamic Segmentation and Linear Referencing but new to Location Referencing within ArcGIS Roads and Highways I am struggling to use [Create an LRS Network](https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/production/location-referencing-pipelines/create-and-modify-an-lrs-network.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C30D73392D964D51A8B606128A8A6E8F) and its surrounding documentation to create my first LRS Network from a test polyline feature class which has fields that include a field identifier, from measure and to measure for each polyline in it. Creating a route feature class from this data is trivial but instead I need to create an LRS dataset and routes in an an LRS Network within that. I need the latter in order to access the route editing tools on the Location Referencing tab of the ArcGIS Pro 2.9.3 ribbon.
Below is the test code that I am using to try and create the test feature class (seems successful), an empty LRS dataset (seems successful), an empty LRS Network (seems successful) and then Append Routes into it but that last step fails with the messages and errors that follow the code:
# This script is intended to create an empty LRS dataset and load
# the geometries of a test polyline feature class with route IDs (GUID),
# Route Names (TEXT) and from/to measures (DOUBLE) into it so that an
# LRS Line Network with those routes can be created

As you can see above I have tried to track down "WARNING 130104: XY Resolutions of testFC and TestLRSNetwork datasets are different" without success.
Is there a way that I can ensure both testFC and TestLRSNetwork have the same XY Resolution?
