Users expecting an enhancement for export to SHP file function should export the data without having to change the units and handle the conversion on the fly from the selected working units if they differ from the dataset.

To provide context: The base DGN user using has working and storage units for SVFT/SVIN.

The file has been geo-coordinated with a coordinate system where the units are in Metric. When applying the coordinate system, he selects the entry for the units that are correct in SVFT and to not change the storage units to match the coordinate system. When performing an export through the Export to SHP File tool, the data that is exported comes in is approximately 3 times as large as expected, or more accurately the conversion factor between meter and feet.
