expected linear unit for angular unit or vice versa

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to buffer a simple point, which works fine, but when I set the Unit to UNIT_NAUTICAL_MILE, I get the following error: 'wrong unit type (expected linear unit for angular unit or vice versa)'.

I am calling the buffer feature of the Geometry service in ArcGIS Server.

Thanks

Thanks Jeff,

In the end I realized I needed to specify the bufferSpatialReference if specifying the units, and was able to replicate using the test harness. The UNIT_NAUTICAL_MILE constant resolved to 9030, so don't think it would matter which I used.

It's now working OK, but will look at the Geometry Engine solution as well.

Thanks
