trouble calcuating x,y using calculate geometry

LauraBecht

Hi, I am trying to calculate the geometry of some point features in Pro 2.1.  I am using a state plane projection in us feet, and my map is set to that projection, when I look at the point in the map it shows my coordinates fine, but when I calculate a field using calculate geometry I get a completely different number.  If I right click the point and copy coordinates I get the right value.  I don't understand what is going on.  In 10.8 i calculate geometry never gave me a problem, but in Pro i can't get it to work.

Hi Laura,

Can you provide some sample data for more detail. Either a gdb or a table showing your discrepancy?

I'm using the current version of Pro 2.7.2 so cannot exactly replicate your concern. I set up a feature class with your Florida coordinate system and created a point based off of the screen coordinates. What I got from the Calculate Geometry is certainly within tolerance.

Projection: NAD 1983 StatePlane Florida East FIPS 0901 (US Feet)

Entered Point: 536,641.27, 1,467,520.81

Calculate Geometry Result: 536,641.269897, 1,467,520.810075

Can you provide more detail of your problem?
