  • Acres
  • Hectares
  • Square meters
  • Square kilometers
  • Square feet
  • Square yards
  • Square miles

When summarizing a polyline, one of the following linear units must be specified:

  • Meters
  • Kilometers
  • Feet
  • Yards
  • Miles
  • Nautical miles

Using a linear unit for summarizing polygons, an areal unit for summarize polylines, or any unit not mentioned above will generate this error.
