Viewing the geometry attributes for a feature

The Geometry Reporter tool allows you to interactively see geometry properties of the geometry created or selected. It reports area, perimeter, length, parts, and vertices for line and polygon features.

You can also convert the values to different units of measurement. Though the values are displayed in kilometers by default, you can also display the area, perimeter, and length values using the following units:

• Meters
• Decimeters
• Centimeters
• Millimeters
• Miles
• Nautical Miles
• Yards
• Feet
• Inches

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
   ヒント:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. If necessary, load data in the map.
3. On the main menu, click Customize → Toolbars → Defense Mapping.
4. Click the Production Start Editing button on the Production Editing toolbar.

   ヒント:

   If the Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes window does not appear when you start an edit session, click the Link Feature Manager To Attributes Window button on the Manage Features window.

5. Select a polygon or polyline within your map display or create a new feature.
6. Click the Geometry Reporter button on the Defense Mapping toolbar.

   The Geometry Reporter dialog box appears.

7. You can click the drop-down arrow to convert the values from meters to other units of measurement.
8. Click the Close button when you are finished viewing the feature's geometric properties.
