Python script to calculate the area (!shape.area!),

I wanted to calculate the are in a particular field. I used the script shown in the screenshot below (!shape.area!):

The ArcGIS quits.

What might be the issue here?

What could be the proper syntax?


Thank you

You're very close, the correct syntax is this:

!Shape!.area

If you're in a Projected Coordinate System, you can also use the "Calculate Geometry" option to get area as well.

Thank you very much Matt. It works fine

Just to throw my ten cents worth in I use the following code: round(!shape.area@hectares!,1)
