Issues with units

Here's the problem I'm encountering: I have a drawing and want to create an alignment in Civil 3D. I have my line, which is 987.83' long. However, when I create the alignment, the stationing runs from 0+00 to 118+53.92 instead of 0+00 to 9+87.83. This is a factor of 12. The properties tab reports a length of 11853.92 for the line as well. However, when I dimension the line, it displays the correct dimension that I want in feet.

Somehow you have a mixture of feet and inches due to an architectural plan somewhere.  I would suggest you use a template file that is set up for imperial civil work.  The factor of 12 comes from 12 inches = one foot.
