Sorry about the long time between posts. I\u2019m not giving up on blogging, but, believe it or not, it does take a lot of time\u2026.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I\u2019ve been playing a little with the Analysis > Analyze Geometry command. I can\u2019t say I use it all the time, so I\u2019m not sure when this changed. It may have been a long time ago. I\u2019ve always found it hard to get lat\/long coordinates from my state plane coordinates. Yes, I can do this one off by just clicking on the map and getting a coordinate readout from the \u201cPrecision Coordinates\u201d dialog, but what if I wanted to have lat\/long for 10,000 points. That was much harder. <\/p>\n

You can do this with functional attributes. In fact, I posted an article<\/a> on www.geomediawiki.org<\/a> on how to do it. It was actually copied for the most part out of the GeoMedia online help. However you can also do this with the Analyze Geometry command.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Launch the command (Analysis > Analyze Geometry)<\/li>\n
  2. Choose a point feature class. If you have lines or polygons, use the CENTERPOINT functional attribute to create points from the line\/area geometry.<\/li>\n
  3. When you select the point feature class, you will see the \u201cAnalysis Options\u201d dialog populate. In the dialog you will see \u201cGeographic Coordinate\u201d and \u201cProjection Coordinate\u201d
    \"analysis_options\"<\/a> <\/li>\n
  4. If you check \u201cGeographic\u201d you will get lat\/long. If you check \u201cProjection\u201d you\u2019ll typically get easting\/northing. NOTE: you can set the output coordinate format in the \u201cUnits and Formats\u2026\u201d dialog in the same Analyze Geometry dialog.<\/li>\n
  5. For points you have options for Azimuth, Bearing, Geographic Coordinates, Projection Coordinates, and Height. Height assumes you have the Z elevation populated in your geometry<\/li>\n
  6. If you work with lines, you\u2019ll have options for Length, Azimuth, and Bearing<\/li>\n
  7. If you work with areas, you\u2019ll have options for Area, Perimeter, and Area\/Perimeter ^2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All in all, this is much easier than having to write a functional attribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
