Half the time ArcCatalog hangs when I try to export it-- just right-clicking the feature class and clicking Export to GDB results in ArcCatalog not responding for at least five minutes. This continues over and over (picking output location, entering the name, etc.) until I finally click "OK" to export it. Then it hangs, again, for at least ten minutes. The most recent one I did still has not completed its export.</P><P>The feature class is very small (a vector polygon, so only about 500 kb) so I am not sure why it is taking that long. My connection is also very good. Is there a way to speed this up? I am on Windows 10 64-bit and using ArcCatalog 10.6</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 14:23:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147281#M8351 AliceElliott 2018-10-16T14:23:34Z Re: Speed up export of feature class to feature class https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147282#M8352 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>copy features has less work to check</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/copy-features.htm" title="http://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/copy-features.htm">Copy Features—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS Desktop</A>&nbsp;</P><P>compare both to ensure you get the same results</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:04:29 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147282#M8352 DanPatterson_Retired 2018-10-16T15:04:29Z Re: Speed up export of feature class to feature class https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147283#M8353 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Not sure why this question is in ArcGIS Online, sharing with <A href="https://community.esri.com/space/2050">Managing Data</A>‌, <A href="https://community.esri.com/group/1680">Geodatabase</A>‌, and <A href="https://community.esri.com/space/2046">GIS</A>‌</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:25:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147283#M8353 JoshuaBixby 2018-10-16T15:25:37Z Re: Speed up export of feature class to feature class https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/speed-up-export-of-feature-class-to-feature-class/m-p/147284#M8354 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Sorry, I am new to this and had a hard time figuring out which place to put this in.
