I am running on an install of ArcGIS Desktop 10.6 ArcInfo Licence. I am not seeing the Calculate Geometry Attributes tool in the toolbox under Data Management Tools-->Features Toolset-->Calculate Geometry Attributes. I am also getting an error in the Python console in Desktop when I try to execute the tool out of the Arcpy module. According to the help page, this should have come with ArcGIS Desktop 10.6. Am I missing something?

Glad I found this! It saved me further frustration. Hope the leg is better Mike.

Just a quick update. I contacted ESRI and they logged a bug for me. I received a response today from them:
Esri Inc has confirmed that this is indeed an oversight on the documentation side. This function does not exist in ArcMap, but does in ArcGIS Pro as we discovered. They have had a bug logged to remove the documentation of this bug, its details are below:BUG-000119004: For ArcMap 10.6- remove Calculate Geometry Attributes GP tool documentation from the overview of the Features toolset web page.
As you mentioned Joshua Bixby the docuemnt for ArcGIS 10.6 should not exist. It appears they will be removing it.
As a work around, I found a tool in XTools that does the same thing, so if you have a XTools license, that could be an alternative method.
Cheers,
Mike
Are you running ArcGIS Desktop 10.6? Do you see that tool in your installation?
ArcGIS Administrator is installed on the client as part of Desktop. Even on locked down enterprise PCs, the application is present and almost always can be launched, it is usually locked down so changes can't be made.
Have you tried running a repair on your installation?
Typical error indicating the tool has not been installed (does not exist):
Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module>AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'CalculateGeometryAttributes_management'
As for the install, it's a full enterprise setup, centrally managed so I do not have access to Administrator. Basically my first question is, should the tool be packaged with 10.6. From there, I can troubleshoot.
It is helpful to post there errors since there can be many different error messages. Also, can you post a screenshot from ArcGIS Administrator showing how your installation is licensed?
