shrug-l: Calculat Geometry->Length Disabled

[Bill Alfred]

Shruggers, 

  

Trying to calculate length in ArcGIS 10, Service Pack 3 on Windows 7. 

Used Calculate Geometry sucessfully to calculate the XY end coordinates of the lines in a 400, 000+ record dbase file. 

Then used the tool 'XY to Line' to produce a resultant file. 

Added a field called Distance (data type double) to the result file. 

Right click on 'Distance', scrolled to Calculate Geometry. 

The top dropdown box showed Length-Disabled. 

This procedure worked for a file with 4 records. 

Here is the procedure: http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=11338190 

Had some problems until I got a Unique ID for all the records but after that still got Length -Disabled. 



Any help will be sincerely appreciated! 

Please respond to: Bill.Alfred at med.fsu.edu . 



Happy New Year, 

Bill Alfred, MS, GISP
