The tool generates only the raster's boundary when it uses as input a raster that was automatically (after user confirmation) added to the TOC resulting from the Export Raster Data.
Steps to reproduce the failure:
- Open the ArcMap (tested on version 10.8.0.12790);
- Add an elevation raster to the TOC. For example, the 'EGM2008_subset.tif', available at https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=042f87ce25e34bffa244cf306dcb7aae;
- Classify the raster's symbology in 3 classes;
- From the layer's context menu, choose [Data > Export Data];
- Check the option 'Use renderer' and proceed;
- When prompted 'Would you like to add the exported data to the map as a layer?', choose 'Yes';
- Open the Toolbox and use the tool [Convertion Tools/From Raster/Raster to Polygon];
- Set the previously converted raster as the input raster and proceed;
- The resulting Shapefile output comprises only the boundary of the raster
Workarounds:
-
- After exporting the raster, when prompted to add the exported data to the map (step 6), choose 'No' and then add the raster manualy after this.
- Proceed with the conversion
-
- After exporting the raster, when prompted to add the exported data to the map, choose 'Yes'.
- remove the raster's layer from the TOC, then undo this action, so that the layer is added again.
- Proceed with conversion
