The Public Works Director has asked you to determine how long each road segment is in miles for a project he is working on. While you do have the road's centerline data, it is not attributed with lengths in miles. So, you will need to add a new field to store the length in miles and then calculate that value for each segment.
We will be adding the field now. In these steps, you will open your project and then add the new field that will store the length of each road segment in miles:
- Open ArcGIS Pro and the Ex9A project located in C:\Student\IntroArcPro\Chapter9.
- In the Contents pane, select the Street Centerlines layer. The Feature Layer group tab should appear in the ribbon.
- Click on the Data tab within the Feature Layer group tab.
- In the Design group on the Data tab, select the Fields button.
A new tab should open in the main view area...
