Specify the M resolution that will be used for processing and set to the output geodataset.

Usage tips
- Unlike XY and Z resolution, the M resolution of a feature class inside a feature dataset is not constrained to match the feature dataset's M resolution. For feature classes created inside a feature dataset, the feature dataset's M resolution is used as the default. To override this default, set the M resolution environment to the desired value.
- If the output is a standalone feature class, raster catalog or feature dataset, the tolerance of the input will be used as the processing and set as the output feature class' Z resolution. For tools that have multiple inputs (Intersect for example) the resolution of the first geodataset in the list will be used as the default. To override these defaults, set the Z resolution environment to the desired value.
- If the tool does not have an input geodataset (for example, Create Feature Class, Create Feature Dataset, and Create Raster Catalog) and if the environment is left blank, the default M resolution is set to 0.001 units. To override this default, set the environment to the desired value.
