Raster to Polygon Problems?

BoWalker — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 02:54:11 GMT

I am new to ArcGIS and wanted to test the buffer function

Step 1. I found parcel data of a state https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=366c27f862eb434f8852da93f1ee95a2

Step 2. I download the info and saved as a layer in ArcGIS pro to use as my lines to buffer

Step 3. I attempted to use Euclidean Distance to create a buffer around such lines

Step 4. Problem. When I input the Layer I created it says "Error 00864" and "000367"

Which suggests that what I am inputting is not appropriate for the function.

I tried converting the data layer to a polygon or something else but I get the same results

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

raster and source cells are preferable

vector data? then look at buffer

Thank you for your reply

I checked the data type and it is a "ArcGIS Map Service"

Is there a way to convert this to vector form? Or do I need to look around for another data source stored in vector form and not as a Map service?

So a Map Image Layer is for viewing purposes only and cannot be exported to a feature class local on disk. In addition, it appears analysis is not possible either such as your Buffer GP tool workflow. I reviewed the metadata and this layer was last updated April 2016 so it's out of date. My recommendation is to look for other data sources.
