ERROR 000072: Cannot process feature with OID 1273001 Failed to execute (FeatureToPoint).

Hi all, I am running Feature to Point for a feature class that is a regular grid (200m *200m), and keep running into this error. I have used this arcpy code for very similar feature classes, and never had this problem before. I have tried restarting my computer, making sure all files are stored locally, and using RepairGeometry.

Any ideas for other things to try? Does anyone know if this tool was updated recently?

Full Error:

if you just want to check

but as the first help topic suggests, then

Thanks, Dan. I checked and repaired the geometry and ran into the same issue. Ended up just doing PolygontoRaster for my analysis.

cheers
