I was wondering if someone could offer assistance with some issues I am having with Adding an XY field to a polygon file of the Country greenland.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have manged to split a polygon into a Point feature class and then used the "Add XY Coordinates" tool to add an X and Y coordinate to the attribute table. However, when I import the Points into another program, the point are in the wrong locations. It looks like the XY fields are calculated incorrectly. Can anybody help in this matter?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Mike</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:12:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/xy-calculator/m-p/487401#M16307 MikeWhite1 2012-06-26T16:12:44Z Re: XY Calculator https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/xy-calculator/m-p/487402#M16308 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The first thing to check are the coordinate systems (projections) of the source data and your target system.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>AddXY gives positions relevent to the coordinate system: lat/long if the data is in geographic, some measured unit (meters or feet for example) in a projected system.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Note that the x,y coordinates are based on the input's coordinate system, not that of the ArcMap data frame.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If the source and target systems are different, the locations can be quite funky.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:52:53 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/xy-calculator/m-p/487402#M16308 markdenil 2012-06-26T18:52:53Z
