Add Cogo Fields via arcpy

Is anyone aware of a way to add cogo fields to a feature class using a stand alone script?

Hi Noah,

There is not a arcpy function that will add the COGO fields, but you can easily create a script to do this using the Add Field tool. The below link provides the field names, description, alias, and format for each of the fields:

Ex:

arcpy.AddField_management(table, "Direction", "Text", "", "", "12", "COGO Direction")

Thanks Jake! I am probably missing something here. How do I then populate this field with directions?

Does this have to be accomplished through python as well? Not sure if this is possible, but you can do this using the COGO toolbar:

Yes unfortunatley I need to accomplish this dynamically and as part of a much larger python script?
