Thanks a lot again! Has worked well. Best regards Andreas ... View more

Thanks Joshua! Good Idea and tried it already. But I would only need the outer circumference line of the whole area. So just the outlaying polygons of an area and from them the outer border. So lets say the USA: I have all states as polygons and I need just the border of the whole USA as line. ... View more

No networfk. Coordinate-S. is "DHDN_3_Degree_Gauss_Zone_3" which should be a projected? I got a gdb but used "feature class to shapefile" and saved the outcome in an own folder and reopened the shape - and tried it on this? perhaps to unexperienced and I did just something wrong? sended you a msg - thanks for this offerbest ...

thanks for this tbx! Unfortunately it didn't work out on the first run. This is the error msg: Spatial reference:     DHDN_3_Degree_Gauss_Zone_3 <type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: ERROR 999999: Error executing function. Failed to execute (BoundingContainers). Failed at Fri Nov 14 13:26:43 2014 (Elapsed Time: 4,00 seconds) any idea? ... View more

started the same project after 2 yrs again - and again the same problem as described above. Dan_Patterson: why did you mention copying the file? What's the idea behind this workaround? This helped, but after some process runs, the problem is the same. Also: If I'm using NEAR with two near features - x and y - just the distance to "x" is calculated and "y" is completely ignored? best regards ... View more

try running it on a local machine with files in a folder in a new project hey, now it worked after copying the project folder to the other hdd partition. but after copying it back again to the orignal directory the -1 error again appears. I use relativ paths in my geodatabase. Is there some kind of cache which could influence this? regards andreas ... View more

try running it on a local machine with files in a folder in a new project hm, I'm running my data just on my local machine and also tried before to copy the project folder to another location running the NEAR process out of this. The problem with the permission just appears after running NEAR or now also occurs after I copied some selected rows of the attribute table in a new feature class to append afterwards to another. Than I have to save and restart ArcInfo to get editing permission again. ... View more

I recognized, that after this NEAR run, when starting an editing session I always get this warning including also the Input Feature for the NEAR run "Bruchfl_S": [ATTACH=CONFIG]19387[/ATTACH] Text on doublekl: "This layer or table is read-only, or you lack the proper permissions to edit it. Solution: Check the file properties in Windows Explorer to make sure you have write access to the geodatabase, files that compose the shapefile, or the folder that contains the data you want to edit. This can commonly happen if you have copied data from a DVD or CD-ROM. If you are using data from an ArcSDE geodatabase, ensure that the data is registered as versioned and you have write access to the version." ... View more

Even if I try NEAR with another feature to the  black striped traget feature -1 is my result or a more distance feature is choosen when using a combination with other target features? ... View more

You know how to do 'join by attribute', correct?  The key is to have a common field values with which to perform this join... So how is this done?  You can 'preserve attributes' in converting Feature To Line.  I think choosing that option will result in the 'old' FID written to the 'new' line fc with the fieldname, 'FID_<fcName>'.  So you could join by attribute back to the orig fc FID using this preserved FID.  Test this to be sure it behaves as you expect.  Below is a rough outline of how it's done: - run Feature to Line on poly fc with 'preserve attributes' on (this may be 'on' by default) - if your orig poly fc name is 'impact', let's just say, then look in your Feature to Line output for a field 'FID_impact'... - visually inspect and verify the line features' FID_impact values match the poly features' FID. - join by attribute FID_impact to FID....or to permanently join the fields to the target poly fc, use the Join Field tool Check this out: Join Field http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001700000065000000 worked out fine - thank you! king regards andreas ...

Do you have a selection? Are all the files in the same coordinate system? (preferably a projected one) See the discussion in the help files http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00080000001q000000 I took care not to have a selection and all features have the same coordinate system. I ve to mention, that a view days ago the NEAR calculation worked with this feature. Just a view points had -1 which I also couldnt figure out why in fact, they dont intercept each other. On further runs now I also got -1 using the points on other features? The run now also takes plenty of time. Before it worked very fast? Ist there some kind of cache? Any validating possibility to figure out an error? king regards andreas ... View more
