I am adding geometry fields using Arcade Geometry($feature).x and Geometry($feature).y. Since my target feature layer is in Web Mercator projection, my custom lat & long fields are displaying the values in meter. Is there a way to convert this to decimal degrees with arcade function?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey Xander,
I have a point feature federated service in UTM NAD83 Zone16. And, I have an x and a y column that I want to populate in decimal degrees using arcade. Is it possible? What do I need to do? Here is my email address, Xander: abi.dhakal@forestry.alabama.gov
Thank you,
Abi
@XanderBakker also looking to convert from CA State plane zone 6 NAD83 into decimal degrees... all the examples I'm finding online seem to be converting from the default Web Mercator. Not sure it is possible.
@Hi @AbiDhakal , did you get any solution for this? If yes it would be great if you could shed some light how to achieve the situation you mentioned above.
@Reeti_05 Not yet, Reeti. If I'm able to obtain it, I will certainly post it here. Thank you for your inquiry.
hello, I tried to use this function, but it gave an error when testing, I wanted the fields of the layer to automatically have the coordinates
thanks
@XanderBakker how are you determining the value "6378137.0"?
I am trying to use this NICE! Function you created but I think I am missing this portion.
Im trying to convert x/y NAD83 New Jersey State Plane(EPSG:3424) coordinates to WGS84(EPSG:4326)
here is an example of the x/y coordinates:
x = 570384, y= 475445
I should get the following in lat/lon
-74.2201199 (long), 40.13836 (lat)
Did you get a response to this or find a solution? I need the same.
Is there any way to make this into an attribute rule?
I am not entirely clear on the formula.
I imagine the constant (6378137.0) is the semimajor axis, but why multiply by 2 and divide by 2? Doesn't that produce the same? could it be power instead of multiplication?
Is there an arcade code similar to this to show easting/westing?
