Hello everyone,

I am using arcpy.management.AddGeometryAttributes to add 2 fields to feature classes (Acres and Hectares). I have to run the code twice, once for acres and once for hectares. I'm not sure if I'm reading the documentation incorrectly, but it kind of reads like I could have it create the acres and hectares fields by just running the code once.

My confusion is in acres/hectares are specified in the Area_Unit parameter and if it's possible to pass in multiple strings to that parameter (i.e. "Acres; Hectares") to have it create multiple fields in one go.

Anybody know if this is possible, or if I'm just hoping it will do something it won't.

Thanks!

You can create a Python script for the following.

Please Add fields for Area_Ac and Area_Ha as Float or Double (if not already created).

Then use Calculate Field for each field using the following expressions, as required

Expression 1 (Area_Ac):

!shape.area@acres!

Expression 2 (Area_Ha):

!shape.area@hectares!
