How can get data unit by ArcPy?

Question

Is there a way to according to the data's spatial reference to get the unit of data, for example: wgs1984 → Decimal degrees, UTM54 → Meters.

• T J: I just found SpatialReference object have a linearUnitName property, The unit of data can get through it.

Answer 1

I found the projected coordinate system has linearUnitName property, and angularUnitName property is empty, and for the geographic coordinate system is just the opposite. so can get unit by follow codes.

sr = arcpy.Describe(fc).SpatialReference
unit = sr.linearUnitName
if unit == '':
 unit = sr.angularUnitName
