I will appreciate any assistance with the following, I am creating polygon shapefiles of catchments with editing tools. After creating a few, I could not go further, there was an error message " the feature could not be created, invalid geometry". i tried redefining the projection but did not solve the problem.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2.Also, how can I solve this error message please " record length exceeded" when trying to run area with tabulate area tool in Spatial analyst tool</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 May 2013 11:34:39 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/problem-with-digitizing-and-area-processing/m-p/30674#M1670 OlamideAfolabi 2013-05-09T11:34:39Z Re: Problem with digitizing and area processing https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/problem-with-digitizing-and-area-processing/m-p/30675#M1671 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Ditch the shapefile, create a new file geodatabase and within, a polygon feature class and that should work.
