Spatial Reference Code for Calculating Geometry

Question

The Spatial Reference Code for NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_15N is 26915.

Does anyone know if a Spatial Reference Code exists for NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_15N with units as US Feet?

If not, does someone know how to use python to set the Reference Frame of an mxd so it could be used in lieu of having a Spatial Reference Code defined as above.

I'm hoping to loop thru a layer list and calculate geometry to X_coord and Y_coord fields with UTM Zone 15N values in US Feet.

Thanks,

Jim

Maybe this code: 32165 fc = r'C:\path o\feature\using\sr\file.gdb\feature' sr = arcpy.Describe(fc).spatialReference print sr.name # u'NAD_1983_BLM_Zone_15N_ftUS' print sr.factoryCode # 32165‍‍‍‍‍‍

This one described NAD 1927, looking for NAD 83.
