Hi,
Setup:
I have a SDE with a feature class created (in web Mercator projection). I'm trying to add new rows using arcpy and use the following (assume everything preceding this works fine)
currentCursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor(self.currentFeatureClass,("time_dt_utc","SHAPE@XY"))
currentCursor.insertRow((datetime.datetime.utcnow(),(-50,-50)))
The row gets added with no issues but the point does not appear anywhere near -50 & -50 (lat/long) coords. They appear close to the 0,0.
If I do the exact same thing on a FeatureClass that has the standard Plate Caree WGS84 system the points appear in the correct place... What's going on and how can I fix it for the Web Mercartor Feature Class? Thanks!
