we have self developped application based on ArcGIS 9.3.1 SP2. Our agents use that application to edit parcels. The parcel layer has a field "SHAPE_AREA" that is calculated by ArcGIS. Our application gets the value of the field property to show the area of the parcel. However we see now that the area is not always correct. The most flagrant difference we encountered was an area of 17ca (m²) instead of 29ca. I try to find out why the values are not correct and how many of those values are incorrect. To do that I open the shapefile in ArcGIS 10.2.1. and I add a field named "area2" with the same properties as the field SHAPE_AREA (type: double, number format: numeric, precision: 11, scale:4), I use calculate geometry to get the area and i use the same projection. Then I add a field named "result" with the same properties. I calculate the field: SHAPE_AREA - area2 to get the differences.
Can anybody tell me why I get different results when both calculations are done by ArcGIS on fields with the same properties? And how we can resolve this problem? Thank you!
