I need to create a table that explicitly displays the points that define a polygon boundary. Make Table View comes close, but the Shape field simply displays "Polygon". Is there a tool which outputs a list of points for each polygon?

So it was curves that was the issue. Besides that all is well. thanks for the help!!!

You have to convert it a point file to get the point values

Feature Vertices To Points (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Then you can use the field calculator or 

Add Geometry Attributes (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation or

Add XY Coordinates (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

to add the coordinates to the table

Thanks Dan.  Headed out momentarily and will try this in the AM. I suspect the geometry details (such as multiple polygons in a parcel) get lost... looking to generate something like:

Longitude

Latitude

-89.0259

38.09963

POLYGON ((-89.0237086 38.1015136, -89.0234627 38.0976878, -89.0235319 38.097689, -89.028015 38.0977517, -89.0280308 38.0977518, -89.0283478 38.1015333, -89.0237929 38.101514, -89.0237781 38.1015139, -89.0237086 38.1015136))

-89.023917

Any Suggestions?

Interesting. I don't recognize the screen you captured... from Pro?

I found it... ignore the previous. That said, I take my selected area, create a new field called GEOMETRY, run the calculate field, and get (null) results. Ideas?

little s not S look carefully at my expression... case-sensitivity... I typed and didn't select the "Shape" from the list... learned the hard way 😉

I'd done the small 's'  first... same result...

Not sure what to make of it...

No clue why yours isn't working...

  • polygon featureclass in a file geodatabase (so network-thing or web-thing)
    • simple polygons, no curves or circles....
      • maybe WKT doesn't handle curves well... densify the fc if you do)
  • Text field... WKT field name (maybe GEOMETRY isn't a good field name)
  • do the field calculation watching for the small 's'

See the image.

Alternatives that I normally use... TableToNumPyArray with "explode to points", reassemble the table geometry in NumPy and export to another format
