I'm having some trouble with the Create Line "right click distance" feature. If I measure a distance and then try to create a line of specified distance, the two do not match. It appears the distance entry is not accurate when I sketch something. ArcGIS Pro 2.2.3
What is the difference in the numbers? Coordinate systems being used? If one is Web Mercator, be forewarned that that projection is no good for distance or area
If I measure a lot line, I get 101.22 feet. I then draw a line over the top of it with a specified distance on 101.22, and then measure that line the distance is 74.51 feet. NAD 1983 Iowa North ft is my coordinate plane.
so... not a feet vs meters thing. Data and map are all in the same coordinate system? There was no basemap added to taint the map coordinate system before you added the data?
To add to Dan's questions, what measurement mode are you using with the measure tool? By default, the tool uses Geodesic, but if you are using a projected coordinate system, you should use Planar.
Yes, the issue persists if I close and re-open pro.
Here is how I can recreate the issue. Start a new blank project. Create a new map. Set the coordinate system to NAD 1983 2011 StatePlane Iowa North FIPS 1401 Ft US. Create a new feature class and also set the coordinate system to the same. Try and measure something and draw a line a specific distance. Does not come out the same.
Save > Close > Re-open seems to solve the issue like you said. In my work files, this also appears to fix the issue, but i do know that the issue will come back. I save and close everyday, but I have not been able to get the distance tool to work on several occasions.
Thanks for checking on that. So if you notice it come back, please let me know the pattern that triggers it. So far, it seems to be when creating new features in the first map of a newly created Project; however, I'd be interested to find out if there are other occurrences.
