I want to add latitude and longitude column and their values in decimal degrees to my shapefile (fishnet). How to use ArcPy for that?



I have added lat and long using arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management but the unit I need is degree decimal and I got it in meters. My code is as below:



arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management("fish_lyr","CENTROID")


When specifying degree decimal:



arcpy.AddGeometryAttributes_management("fish_lyr","CENTROID","DEGREEDECIMALS")


it gives the following error:



ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of FEET_US | METERS | KILOMETERS | MILES_US | NAUTICAL_MILES | YARDS.
Failed to execute (AddGeometryAttributes).


Also, what command will use if only latitude or only longitude is needed?

You can use the da.UpdateCursor with the SHAPE@ token:



import arcpy

fc = r'C:TestBuildings.shp'
latfield = 'lat'
longfield = 'long'

with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(fc,['SHAPE@',latfield,longfield]) as cursor:
for row in cursor:
a = arcpy.PointGeometry(row[0].centroid, arcpy.Describe(fc).spatialReference)
b = a.projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).centroid
row[1], row[2] = b.Y, b.X
cursor.updateRow(row)

    In the case where the OP or a future reader can use geopandas instead of arcpy, you would do the following:



    shp = 'C:/users/gis/data/fish.shp'
    gdf = geopandas.read_file(shp)
    (
    gdf.to_crs('init': 'epsg:4326'
    .assign(lon=lambda df: df['geometry'].centroid.x)
    .assign(lat=lambda df: df['geometry'].centroid.y)
    .to_crs(gdf.crs)
    .to_file(shp)
    )

            @mmtoken, With geopandas/shapely, that order doesn't matter. Latitude, then longitude may be how we say these values, but latitude is still the y-direction. When I do this with a shape file near Portland, OR, USA, I get longitude values around -122.75 and latitude values around 45.57, which is what I expect.
