This should result in polylines that you can calculate the length of. Put them in a geodatabase and their lengths are automatically calculated.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:18:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/calculate-length-of-polygon/m-p/574478#M32533 MarkBoucher 2013-04-15T13:18:24Z
