Additional Information

The 'Add Geometry Attributes' and 'Calculate Geometry Attributes' tools do not support calculating areas or lengths in native coordinate systems which are not suitable for length or area calculation. When the data is in a geographic coordinate system or a projection coordinate system based on Mercator, the only options are Geodesic Area and Geodesic Length which return accurate measurements.
