Many tools treat centroids according to the center of the feature's mass (e.g. a donut's centroid would be in the center of the donuthole). Some tools have the option to force the centroid inside (e.g. <A href="http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/feature-to-point.htm">Feature to Point</A>'s Inside option). Likewise, compare the difference between the centroid and trueCentroid properties of the <A href="http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/arcpy/classes/polygon.htm">Polygon </A>object.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Apr 2016 16:56:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/polygon-centroids/m-p/423205#M14277 DarrenWiens2 2016-04-11T16:56:21Z
