Hi, I'm having problems when drawing a circle entering the radius. I start creating circle, enter a radius (eg. 1200feet) and after it's done the circle ends up with less than what've I entered (eg.1020 feet), can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong ? TKS!
Kory Kramer is there a general request to disable any 'measurement tool' should Web Mercator be the working projection?
It sounds too fuzzy and general for ArcGIS Ideas but, corrections, warnings or disable are pretty well the only options. This is increasingly becoming an issue
Perhaps if you come across some insights you could get them shared here.
Leaving this thread 'open' might serve as a warning and a reference point
Tks for your insights Dan, yes I'm using Web Mercartor WGS 1984, and working with feet on my measurements, you thinks that's the problem? Should I change my spatial reference?
It appears measurement issues are related to a coordinate system having 'tainted' the map. Anything that may be added first to a map (or dataframe) sets the coordinate system. I always suspect Web Mercator as the root problem when the measurement differences aren't purely a meters vs feet issue.
Hi Dan, yes yours look just right, mine when I do that the result is different.. IDK what to do
I just tried with drawing a simple radius for a circle and I get the expected perimeter and area for a circle with a radius of 1000m
Yes the visual are different too, what do you mean by inner and outer radius?
Sent from my iPhone
are your visuals a different example since the numbers don't match... but I do see some inner and outer radius thing going on
