Hi All, I'm new to the forum. I have a question on adding dimensions (specifically length and width) to parcels:
I'm trying to create dimensions (length & Width) for about 600 parcels. I've created a new dimension feature class and I'm able to edit it to determine what the dimensions are of the polygon but I'm coming up with two issues:
1. I seemingly have to edit them one at a time to determine the dimensions, this will take forever with 500 parcels so I'm wondering if there's a way to automate it?
2. When I do edit features individually, I get two features for every one polygon-- one for length and one for width. This is no good.
What is the correct/easiest way to get length and width for many polygons? I've used python months ago, but only in training sessions so I'm not very familiar with the set up/workspace part of it.
Any help is greatly appreciated, using 10.1
