Viewing the geometry attributes for a feature

The Geometry Reporter tool allows you to interactively see geometry properties of the geometry created or selected. It reports area, perimeter, length, parts, and vertices for line and polygon features.

You can also convert the values to different units of measurement. Though the values are displayed in kilometers by default, you can also display the area, perimeter, and length values using the following units:

• Meters
• Decimeters
• Centimeters
• Millimeters
• Miles
• Nautical Miles
• Yards
• Feet
• Inches

1. 启动 ArcMap。
2. 如有必要，可在地图中加载数据。
3. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Defense Mapping.
4. 单击生产编辑工具条上的启动生产编辑按钮 。

   注：

   使用启动生产编辑工具开始编辑会话时，系统将自动显示管理要素和创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口。

   提示：

   如果开始编辑会话时未显示创建属性、更新属性或元数据属性窗口，请单击管理要素窗口上的显示/隐藏属性按钮 。

5. Select a polygon or polyline within your map display or create a new feature.
6. Click the Geometry Reporter button on the Defense Mapping toolbar.

   The Geometry Reporter dialog box appears.

   

7. You can click the drop-down arrow to convert the values from meters to other units of measurement.
8. Click the Close button when you are finished viewing the feature's geometric properties.
