topic Dimension length returns only planar in ArcGIS Pro Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/dimension-length-returns-only-planar/m-p/690107#M30545 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Created dimension feature to support straight line measurements, that I need to label in kilometers. The&nbsp;DIMLENGTH field, and hence the text display, is always a planar value, confirmed by comparing the Measure tool result in planar vs. geodesic. Changing the map from Web Mercator to a geographic type has no effect, nor can I use an expression to convert to geodesic, because the Arcade function LengthGeodetic requires a geometry data type, and Expression Builder doesn't contain the SHAPE field for the dimension feature I created. Any ideas about how I can get my dimensions to display the length in kilometers? Typically my distances range between 10 and 40 km.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 28 Apr 2020 00:22:06 GMT ScottTurnbull 2020-04-28T00:22:06Z Dimension length returns only planar https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/dimension-length-returns-only-planar/m-p/690107#M30545 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Created dimension feature to support straight line measurements, that I need to label in kilometers.
