[mapguide-users] Default unit for measure tool

[Steve G]

Thanks for the response.  That variable switches the default between the
imperial system and metric system, however, not the unit of measure within
each of those systems.

I figured it out though...to set the default unit (within the two different
systems above), change the following:

In C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\viewerfiles\measureui.templ 

function SetUnits()
{
    if (!units || units == "")
    {
        units = GetParent().GetMapFrame().IsEnglishUnits()? "mi": "km";
    }


If you change "mi" to "ft" the the default for the imperial system will be
feet, same applies if you want the default unit for the metric system to
something other than km.
