Task
In the Perspective Resources view, select the resource, and
select Resource > Administration Console.
In the left pane, expand IQ Servers > Schema Objects > Spatial Support, and then select Units of Measure.
Click the arrow next to Units of
Measure and select New.
The Create Spatial Unit of Measure Wizard
appears.
On the Welcome page of the wizard, select a resource on which to
create the custom unit of measure.
For Multiplex only, select a multiplex server on which to create the custom unit of
measure.
Select Create a custom unit of measure.
Click Next.
Specify a name for the custom unit of measure.
Note: The name of a unit of measure must be unique. If the name entered already
exists, an error message appears.
Specify the type of unit of measure:
Linear – if you are using a projected coordinate system, the individual
coordinate values represent a linear distance along the surface of the
Earth to a point. Coordinate values can be measured by the meter, foot,
mile, or yard. The projected coordinate system must explicitly state the
linear unit of measure in which the coordinate values are expressed.
Meter, metre, and planar degree are linear units of measure.
Angular – geographic features can be measured in degrees of latitude, radians, or
other angular units of measure. Every spatial reference system must
explicitly state the name of the unit in which geographic coordinates are
measured. Radian and degree are angular units of measure.
Specify the conversion factor for the custom unit of measure.

(Optional) On the Comment page, specify a comment for the custom unit of
measure.
