BUFFER function on KMZ/KML objects creates new object in wrong projection

csnoke

Here is the work process:

1. Begin new map with features in a Grid Coordinate System, such as US State Plane
2. Import a KMZ/KML and select an object from the KMZ file
3. Right click and perform the ADVANCED FEATURE CREATION > BUFFER function

The newly created buffer object will have an incorrectly set projection, saying it is in the Geographic coordinate system.  

To fix it, the user will need to go into the new buffer layer properties and set the projection to Grid System of the work space (US State Plane). Buffer object will then appear in correct location.
