The operation was attempted on an empty geometry" each time I try to use x-ray to import data from an XML doc to my geodatabase.

Anyone have an idea for another workaround?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:09:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/quot-import-xml-data-failed-the-operation-was/m-p/43994#M2500 CassandraGascon 2017-04-12T16:09:37Z Re: "Import XML data failed.
