I need to auto-calculate the length and width of polygons (respectively) as the user creates them. Is there a way to do this using math/geometry functions in Arcade? It would work similarly to the tool Minimum Bounding Geometry that can calculate length and width of polygons.</P><P>I have no idea where to start, im new with scripting.
