I tried adding points to the existing feature attribute table giving MGRS and Lat/long and other information. After entering and saving in the attribute table, i am not able to see visually on the view window.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Secondly, in the same editing mode, i tried adding the points spatially (without using feature attribute table) but its getting added on the fly and doesn't seem to be getting added on the attribute table. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Would appreciate for your kind suggestions.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Many thanks and Happy New year 2012.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thinley</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:28:33 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/editing-feature-layer/m-p/430277#M24612 Thinley_JyamtshoWangdi 2012-01-03T09:28:33Z Re: Editing Feature Layer https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/editing-feature-layer/m-p/430278#M24613 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The actual coordinates of a point are stored in the shape field.&nbsp; So when you add coordinates in an MGRS field, that is only an attribute of the point feature.&nbsp; If you want to create points using a table of coordinates, first create a table with fields like MGRS, LAT, and LONG.&nbsp; After entering the coordinate info in the table, add it to ArcMap and right click on the table in the table of contents and select "Display X Y Data".&nbsp; This will bring up a dialog that allows you to specify what fields in the table have the x and y coordinates.&nbsp; You can then export the resulting layer to a feature class in a geodatabase.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Or if you add the points spatially on the map, you can then go to the fields in your table and right click the field name and choose "Calculate Geometry".&nbsp; That will let you calculate the Lat, Long and MGRS coordinate for the points you entered on the map.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:41:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/editing-feature-layer/m-p/430278#M24613 JeffWard 2012-01-20T13:41:21Z
