Release 9.2 Last modified September 4, 2007	Print all topics in : "General settings"

Specifies whether output feature classes will contain m- (measure) values.

Usage tips

• The keyword used at the command line or in scripts for this environment setting is OutputMFlag.
  


• As each feature is written to the output feature class, each vertex that does not have an M value will be assigned a value of NaN (Not a Number).

If the input features do not contain m-values, then the output feature class will not contain m-values. This is the default value. DISABLED—No output feature class will contain m-values, regardless of whether the input features have m-values. ENABLED—The output feature class will contain m-values, regardless of whether the input features have m-values.	String
