topic Points to line fail in Geoprocessing Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/points-to-line-fail/m-p/567199#M18734 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi everybody,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The strangest error occurs to me! Working with GPS-data, I am creating lines from the dots that are the gps-signals from car rides. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Look a the picture: we see 3 things. The green dots, standing for some 120 car rides, the red lines, which is what the points to line tool created from them. You will notice that a lot of the lines converge around an area in the southwest of the area, although there are no dots there. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now, my working file has some 5.4 million gps-points, creating about 110.000 car rides (it's 30-second data). The red lines are created when using the points-to-line tool for this file. The greens lines are something I've created as a test. I've selected a 100 lines and made a new shapefile and I ran point-to-line again. As you see, there are no errors this time. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Why does ArcGIS make this error? Is it really because of the size of my file? The error makes no sense to me. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you!</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]26908[/ATTACH]</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 23 Aug 2013 07:27:00 GMT MiriamDorigo 2013-08-23T07:27:00Z Points to line fail https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/points-to-line-fail/m-p/567199#M18734 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi everybody,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The strangest error occurs to me!
