Calculate Geometry from Attributes window

[JoeRutkowski]

When editing in a table, you can right-click on a field and choose Calculate Geometry. I would be nice if this feature was made an option within the Attributes editing window.

Or if you could change the display units in the Shape.area field with a dropdown selection, much like the location display units in the Identify window.

 Calculate Geometry in cell context menu (applicable to current cell or selected cells in the field).

It would be nice to be able to calculate geometry of a field during an edit session in the attributes window. Currently, the only way to calculate geometry is to open the attribute windown and right click the field you would like to calculate geometry on. My idea is to right click the field you want to calculate geometry on in the attribute window in the middle of an edit session. This would increase efficiency and would create one less step in my workflow.

You can do it by turning on the labeling, and labeling dynamically with an advanced expression if it is a geodatabase feature class type.  Since a geodatabase feature class has an area field that is dynamic you can label via the advanced expression.  In the example provided you would would check the advanced expression box and paste the following (be sure to change the fields that are appropriate to the data) ie, [Field], [Shape_Area]   also you will notice I am converting from meters square to various other units by their conversion factors

Function FindLabel ( [FIELD] , [Shape_Area] )
  FindLabel =  [FIELD] & vbNewLine &  FormatNumber(Round( [Shape_Area] * 0.00024710439,2 )) & " Sq Ac" & vbNEWLINE &  FormatNumber(Round( [Shape_Area] * 3.8610216e-007,2 )) & " Sq Mi"& vbNEWLINE &  FormatNumber(Round( [Shape_Area] * 0.0001,2 )) & " Sq Ha"
End Function

In my workflow I move and add new points that need to have their geometry calculated. Now I have to open open the attribute table, right click on the field, click calculate geometry, and then choose my parameters. I would love to be able to right click on the field in the attribute window and choose calculate geometry from there. It would save me many steps and a good deal of time. I’m currently on 10.3.1, but I was told at the UC that this is still not available at any release, including Pro.

I've marked this reviewed, but wanted to make sure you knew about Attribute Rules in ArcGIS Pro.  You can set up immediate calculation rules so that you don't have to Calculate Geometry at all.  Just move your points and the geometry updates automatically.

*Working with Attribute Rules does require a Standard or Advanced license.
