Values range from 0 to 360, with 0 meaning north, 90 east, 180 south, 270 west, and so on.
Number of holes-An attribute will be added to store the number of interior holes within each polygon feature.Curves include elliptical arcs, circular arcs, and Bezier curves. Number of curves-An attribute will be added to store the number of curves in each feature.This point is the same as the centroid if the centroid is inside the feature otherwise, it is an inner label point. Central point m-value-An attribute will be added to store the m-value of a central point inside or on each feature.Central point z-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the z-coordinate of a central point inside or on each feature.Central point y-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the y-coordinate of a central point inside or on each feature.Central point x-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the x-coordinate of a central point inside or on each feature.Centroid m-value-An attribute will be added to store the centroid m-value of each feature.Centroid z-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the centroid z-coordinate of each feature.Centroid y-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the centroid y-coordinate of each feature.Centroid x-coordinate-An attribute will be added to store the centroid x-coordinate of each feature.Area (geodesic)-An attribute will be added to store the shape-preserving geodesic area of each polygon feature.Area-An attribute will be added to store the area of each polygon feature.
Count attributes are written to long integer fields area, length, and x-, y-, z-coordinate, and m-value attributes are written to double fields and coordinate notations such as Degrees Minutes Seconds or MGRS are written to text fields. If a new field name is specified, the field type is determined by the type of values that are written to the field. You can select an existing field or provide a new field name. Specifies the fields in which the selected geometry properties will be calculated. If the input features have a selection, only the selected features will have values calculated in the added fields all other features will maintain their existing value. This produces highly accurate results that are not biased by an assumption that the input line or polygon features are constructed with geodesic arcs between the vertices, which is the assumption regarding traditional geodesic length and area. The geodesic length and area properties use a shape-preserving algorithm. Learn more about length and area units in geoprocessing tools If the Coordinate System parameter is specified, the length and area calculations will be in the units of that coordinate system unless different units are specified in the Length Unit and Area Unit parameters. Length and area calculations will be in the units of the input features' coordinate system unless different units are selected in the Length Unit and Area Unit parameters.
