When I attempt to run the CalculateGeometryAttributes in a Python window in ArcGIS Pro so I can add the last positional argument I get an error message stating:
TypeError: CalculateGeometryAttributes() takes from 0 to 5 positional arguments but 6 were given
According to the documentation at
Calculate Geometry Attributes—Data Management toolbox | Documentation
the syntax for this tool is:
CalculateGeometryAttributes(in_features, geometry_property, {length_unit}, {area_unit},{coordinate_system}, {coordinate_format})
This shows 6 positional arguments but when I attempt to add a value for {coordinate_format} the tool won't accept it. Did ESRI change the syntax and remove this feature or is this a bug?
What version of Pro are you running? I just tested on Pro 2.5, and I don't have any issues. If I pass 7 arguments, instead of 6, I can generate a similar TypeError:
TypeError: CalculateGeometryAttributes() takes from 0 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given
What does the following show on your machine:
>>> CalculateGeometryAttributes.__code__.co_argcount
>>>
Thank you for your help. I think the issue may be I'm not on Pro 2.5 yet. My organization is still running Pro 2.4.3. I took a closer look and it appears that I'm still using version 2.4 of arcpy which uses CalculateGeometryAttributes_managment() with only 5 arguments. CalculateGeometryAttributes() is not available in arcpy 2.4. I assume that when I upgrade to Pro 2.5 my arcpy module will change to version 2.5 with the new capabilities.
arcpy.management.CalculateGeometryAttributes.__code__.co_argcount

I'm still on a learning how to use Python directly (either in Pro or in a Jupyter Notebook or Spyder). It's a steep curve but I'm starting to figure it all out.
