Auto Populate Lat / Long Fields in ArcGIS Pro

CameronKoehler

Is there a way to auto populate Lat / Long coordinates in decimal degrees in ArcGIS Pro?  We have deployed ESRI's Address Data Management solution and use that to assign and maintain our address points and road centerlines.  In the attribute rules, I have added one to try and populate the coordinates but it will not auto populate in the decimal degree format.  The map project shows the decimal degree is set to default, the map itself uses the format when working on the map, it will let me manually get the decimal degree format, but it will not go to that format automatically.  I have attached some pictures of what is going on.

Again, if I understand your intentions correctly, you want X and Y coordinates in a table "display" as decimal degrees. Looking closer at your photo Arcpro5.png. I see numbers that appear to be coordinates that are expressed in Linear Units 4427846, -10456310(Meters or feet).

If the coordinates are indeed Lat/Lon, I'd expect to see DMS 40° 42' 46", or Radians 57.2958, or DD 40.7128°

 Then in photo Arcpro2.png it appears to me (I could be wrong) you're using the field calculator to "convert" Linear values to degrees. This wouldn't be the recommended method. The Field Calculator does not handle the spatial reprojection.    

I think it would be helpful to know the units of the X and Y coordinates. i.e. projected coordinate system or geographic system...  Feet, meters, degrees? 

You need to know the projected coordinate system (PCS) from which your data comes. This might be something like UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator), State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS), or another projection.
