How do I get lat/long coordinates into my attribute table? I used the methold given in Article ID 31863, but the results were X,Y coordinates, rather than lat/long.
Mapping Center Answer:
At version 9.2 we added a feature for calculating measures of geometry (X,Y, length, perimeter, area). The help topic on calculating fields was enhanced to cover this topic.
So, if you've added a couple of fields (type = double or float) you can calculate the X and Y coordinates into those fields and specify the units (choose decimal degrees in your case).
