Geodatabase feature class properties example

The following stand-alone script displays the geodatabase feature class properties:

import arcpy

# Create a Describe object from the GDB Feature Class
desc = arcpy.Describe("C:/data/chesapeake.gdb/chesapeake/bayshed_1")

# Print GDB FeatureClass properties
print("Area Field Name  : " + desc.areaFieldName)
print("Length Field Name: " + desc.lengthFieldName)
