Learning ArcGIS Pro

Exercise 7B – adding a field and populating values
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 centerline data, it is not
attributed with length 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.
Step 1 – adding the field
In this step, you will open your project and then add the new field, which will store the
length of each road segment in miles.
1. Open ArcGIS Pro and the Create New Features project you used in the last exercise.
2. In the Project pane, expand Databases so you can see the two databases connected
to this project.
3. Expand the Trippville_GIS database and the Base feature dataset.
4. Right-click on the Street_Centerlines feature class to expose the context menu.
5. Click on Design and select Fields as shown in the following screenshot:
