When to use spatial reference in geoprocessing tool?
When a geoprocessing tool processes features from more than one feature class (for example the Intersect tool) or from more than one raster (for example the Weighted Overlay tool), the data must be brought into a common spatial reference to compute relationships between contents of the two datasets.
How do I convert feature class to geodatabase?
Browse to ArcToolbox > Conversion Tools > To Geodatabase. Open the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) tool. In the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) window, add all the feature classes into the Input Features parameter. Select an Output Geodatabase. Click the Environments button at the bottom of the tool window.
How to remove Z and M values from feature class?
Note: ArcGIS Mobile Services cannot contain M or Z enabled feature layers. Browse to ArcToolbox > Conversion Tools > To Geodatabase. Open the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) tool. In the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) window, add all the feature classes into the Input Features parameter. Select an Output Geodatabase.
How do I change the z value in geodatabase?
Open the Feature Class to Geodatabase (multiple) tool. Add all the feature classes into the Input Feature Class parameter. Select an Output Geodatabase. Click the Environments button at the bottom of the tool dialog box. Expand the General Settings. For the parameter, Output has Z Values, change the value to Disabled.
What should be the geoprocessing environment variable in ArcGIS?
Set the geoprocessing output coordinate system environment variable to the appropriate coordinate system (Albers in the above example). Anytime the output coordinate system environment is specified, it is recommended that you specify an appropriate geographic transformation if necessary.
How can I improve the performance of geoprocessing?
To improve performance of the above situation, you can employ one of two techniques: Set the geoprocessing output coordinate system environment variable to the appropriate coordinate system (Albers in the above example).
Why do we need a geodataset in ArcGIS?
Ensure that the first geodataset input to the tool contains the coordinate system that will minimize the amount of data being projected (Albers in the above example). Processing data with an appropriate coordinate system allows better default values for tolerance, resolution, and domains.
