What is the purpose of Map Options?
To specify Coordinate Units, Distance Units, and Area Units for your map. New units appear in places such as the Ruler window, on the status bar (if you've set up the map to show coordinates), and in dialog boxes that display area measurements, such as Region Object.
Note: You can also show/hide scroll bars and access the Choose Projection dialog box.
When is Map Options active?
When a Map window is active.
