Split Tool Regression in 3.4+

HaydenWelch — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 14:28:18 GMT

As of ArcGIS Pro 3.4+, the Split tool has experienced an odd regression that prevents you from splitting line features on a vertex if the map projection differs from the feature Spatial Reference.

Splitting on edges still works fine, but if you want to split on a vertex it fails with a "Splitting Line Features failed." generic error. I'm not sure what exactly changed on the backend to cause this, but it's persisted through 2 minor versions and several patches now.

Have the same problem. Thinking it was me. Split work fine in polygon but failed in line.

@DanPatterson
LOL. In an ideal world we'll have performant error messages that link back to the master mind and read something like:
"Error 9e10, I'm sorry Hayden, I cannot do that.... But it has been reported as Bug-000172550 and will be fixed in version 5.6 patch2."

How should I phrase that as an Idea? Mmmmm.

Perfectly agreed to that.

@ValeriaChavez My mistake, still learning how to properly navigate the Bug Report system. I have been following the patch reports, didn't see the bug status area. I'll keep stuff like this there in the future. Glad to know it's being fixed and that I wasn't the only one with the issue!
