Hi all; How does one start a new mxd project in NAD 83 UTM feet Zone 11? I don't find this option in listed projected systems when attempting to set the root data frame coordinate system as the first thing to do. I know this coordinate system exists as I have used it after someone else set it up. I also have a set of geophysical data points that are in this system.    Thanks; Dave

In the UTM folder, there is the BLM (US feet) folder - if you scroll down a bit, you'll find

NAD 1983 BLM Zone 11N (US Feet)

If you copy the line above and paste it in the search box (in the Data Frame Properties > Coordinate System tab), it will take you to the coordinate system.

Thanks Elliot! I am in a new mxd with UTM ft Z11 and plugging away. It figures, I guess the BLM would substitute themselves when going to feet units in the US....
