Compare or track number of miles edited in feature class

ManojParanthaman

Hello All,

I have a hydro feature class which I want to reshape. My question is is there a way to compare the number of miles edited or changed from the old hydro feature class using ArcGIS?

The main purpose of doing this is to understand how many miles have been edited from the existing hydro feature class so that i can work on some statistics.

You can add a new field to your feature class, lengthkm (double) and calculate the field using Python expression as:

!shape.length@kilometers!

 

Then right-click the field and use Summary Statistics in Pro or Statistics in ArcMap to get the total length in km.

You will need to do it initially to get the initial value and then recalculate the field when your updates are done (or use a lengtheditedkm field to put the updated length value after your updates).
