Extract Long and Lat from polygon?

Hi,

I am currently working in the new ArcGIS Pro. I would like to find out the coordinates of my polygons. I have tried to use add geometry but there appears to be no coordinate system to select and the results are easting and northing. I need these values in longitude and latitude but cannot figure out how.

Thanks

Add the layer to a dataframe that is set to geographic coordinates (perhap GCS WGS84), then you should be able to select that one. Currently, your dataframe and data are in the same coordinate system.

The same principle applies to http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/tools/data-management-toolbox/add-xy-coordinates.htm but you actually have to go into the Environments tab and set an output coordinate system.

In any case, you won't get all the coordinates for your polygon, unless you convert the polygon to points and repeat as above.

A simple calculate geometry in the table will also get you the x and y values, if the file is in a geographic data frame.

Many options, you might want to elaborate if the above doesn't cover your situations
