Hi @nwesselS8RV5
The solution is not found in Command Line Units.
Are you using a coordinate system (CS) that has feet? If you're dealing with GPS points, then you M-U-S-T have an 'assigned' coordinate system in your drawing. If you don't assign one then your GPS points may appear anywhere on Earth. Your site location has at least one 'appropriate' coordinate system and you must pick one and assign it to your drawing.
If you accidentally change the Drawing Units of your map, then your GPS coordinates will not have their correct northing and eating values.
Your length/distances will adopt or inherit the units of your assigned CS….and CS's are either in feet or meters, not feet-and-inches, never ever.
If you're using State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) then your units of measurement will be feet. However, if you're using WGS84/epsg 4326, then your units of measurement will be degrees, such as Lat/Longs, and that's a no-no because no one uses 'degrees' to describe a length. Length is typically expressed in feet or meters, not degrees
Don’t be mistaken, it’s OK to input you’re GPS points as degrees into a drawing with an assigned CS that uses feet. Map3D knows how to transform their positions and make them land accurately. This is all part of geospatial drawing which does NOT require your input units to match the assigned CS units.
If you want to find length (or distances) in feet and inches in your drawing with those GPS coordinates then you can create (or establish) a Dimension Style with the parameters like those shown on the Primary Units tab. Refer to image shown below.
Below, you can see the Dimension Style displays 90'-0". You may put this dimension on a brand new layer that you may turn ON or OFF. Or you may delete the dimension altogether once you've seen it.
