Calculate

This function is not available via the GUI of ET GeoWizards.

Calculates some spatial characteristics of the shapes. The results are added in new fields in the attribute table of the original dataset.

Note: For more flexible Area or Length calculations see Calculate Area and Calculate Length tools

Command line syntax 

ET_GPCalculate <input_dataset> <Area | Length | XYStart | XYEnd | XYMiddle | XYCenter | XYLabel | XY | Z | M>

Parameters

Expression Explanation
<input_dataset> A feature class or feature layer.
<Area | Length | XYStart | XYEnd | XYMiddle | XYCenter | XYLabel | XY | Z | M> Calculate Task. A String - defines the calculation to be performed
  • Area - the area of polygons in the units of the spatial reference of the dataset - Polygon datasets
  • Length - the length of polylines or the perimeter of polygons in the units of the spatial reference of the dataset - Polygon or Polyline datasets/
  • XYStart - the coordinates of the start point of polylines or polygons  - Polygon or Polyline datasets.
  • XYStart - the coordinates of the end point of polylines or polygons  - Polygon or Polyline datasets.
  • XYMiddle - the coordinates of the middle point of polylines - Polyline datasets.
  • XYCentre -  the coordinates of the centroid of polygons - Polygon datasets.
  • XYLabel -  the coordinates of the label points of polygons - Polygon datasets.
  • XY - the coordinates of points - Point dataset
  • Z - the Z value of points - PointZ dataset
  • M - the M value of points - PointZ dataset
