Export vector units always in metric

Hi
It seems that the Configuration dialog box's Vertical Options tab's Elevation Display/Export Units' Statute (Ft) option does not work when exporting vector data.
I did the following:
(1) I loaded some elevation data in feet.
(2) Then I digitize some line vectors on top of the elevation data.
(3) I set the Export Units to Statute (ft) in the Configuration dialog box
(4) Select File > Export Vector Data > Simple ASCII Text File
No matter what I option I chose as the Export Units, the output vector file is always in metric.
Am I doing anything wrong?
thanks

In any case, I have updated the Simple ASCII export to obey the export elevation units selection specified on the Vertical Options tab of the Configuration dialog. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v11.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit version, there is a new build available at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11_64bit.zip .
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,

I'm sorry I was mistaken in that it was working for other formats. I tried out exporting to Shape File but it is still writing the elevation in metric while the planar is in feet even though the Configuration Export Units option is set to feet.
thanks
