Each time I attempt to calculate geometry for a feature class or shapefile, I experience extreme lag! It doesn't matter if it is one record or 100 records... it is still slow. Anybody else experiencing this?
Hello Steve,
At the time of this post I was not able to resolve the issue, but now that I am in ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2, it seems to be much easier.
No, so you might want to look at
Announcing the ArcGIS Pro Performance Assessment Tool (PAT) (esri.com)
to see what is going on
Thanks Dan. I'll check it out.
What version of Pro are you seeing this slowness in?
Did you ever use this tool in an earlier version of Pro and get better results?
2.8.2 and I just upgraded to 2.9
I installed the PAT tool that Dan suggested but I am lost on how to use it LOL.
I have performed the task in ArcMap and it didn't take half the time.
Are you specifically using the Calculate Geometry Attributes tool?
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/2.8/tool-reference/data-management/calculate-geometry-attributes.htm
No I was opening the attribute table and right clicking on the field then choosing calculate geometry.
I did it in ArcMap 10.5.1 and it took 26.04 seconds on 265,953 records
I did it in ArcGIS Pro 2.9 and it took 55.83 seconds on 26,953 records
I'll try the Calculate Geometry Attributes tool to see if there is a difference.
I used that tool and there was only a 1 second difference in processing time.
Amanda, I'm having the same issue calculating geometry. Just curious did you find a fix to this delay?
I am also using Pro 2.9...
Hi. I am on 3.0.3 and I am having the same problem. A simple calculate geometry on 30 simple poly features (right click on the field and calculate geometry) takes 2-3 minutes to process (I just did this now with the same slow performance). It's been like that for 2 years lol...I'm just used to it. It seems to fluctuate in time taken sometimes quick but that is rare, but I have never found a pattern, cause or solution. All my data is local to the PC, data is clean, indexed, I've even regenerated the data, etc. Mostly no other issues to speak of but the calculate geometry is very slow to calculate.
Hi Grant,
Where does your data reside? (i.e.. file geodatabase, SDE, shapefile, service?)
I'm in 3.5.3 and experiencing the same terrible lag when attempting to Calculate Field. It takes me 2 hrs. to update one column for 10k features. 20k features failed. I'm unable to 'highlight' much more as once I try to change the table to the selection, it locks out and loads forever.
