Spatial Adjustment works OK but when I try to save edits, ArcMap freezes

Question

The data I am editing is derived from a DXF (CAD) and I have processed the features up to now, removing most of the junk attributes, Z values and cleaning the topology using ET GeoWizards. All I have is 2 files, one points and one lines layer.

The adjustment works fine but the save kills everything.

Thanks for any help

This seems to be a known issue in ArcMap!

29769 - Spatial Adjustment does not work on geodatabase feature class.

Sorry this is so late, but I am wondering how  you all got your CAD data into the feature class?

Did you use the CAD to geodatabase GP tool?

Or an import? I think that could help us figure out where the corruption of maybe the data spatial index happens.

Thank you,

Hello again!

I've come back with a solution to the problem at least it worked for me.  The solution I have found is as Matej suggests, to export out the data.  From what I could determine, when I projected the data the extent would become enourmous and would crash on save, the extent would shift from about 1000 meters to some ridiculous number.  When I projected the data and exported the data it corrected the extent and allowed me to save the adjustment.

Hope this helps
