 Using Tools>GeometryTools>Export/AddGeometryColumns, has some problems
 with units and precision.

 Output seems to be in units of 100km eg

 An area 69.38Ha (measured using the measurement tool) is output as 6.9e-05
 Perimeter ~ 3.3Km (measured using the measurement tool) is output as
 .032753

 This has the potential to cause errors and produce misleading information
 on subsequent calculations

 Project units are m.

 Sample files before and after Add Geometry are attached
