Model error- Converting CAD to FC

Almuatasim_Ahmed_SaidAl-Hinai — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:59:37 GMT

Hi All,

I have created a model to batch extracting a particular DWG polyline layer to corresponding feature classes. I am getting the resultant polyline feature classes as PolylineZ. How can I modify my model to output feature classes of type Polyline instead of PolylineZ? I tried to disable the Z Values from the Environment Settings but I am getting the following error:

ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Geometry cannot have Z values.
Failed to execute (Select).

A snapshot from my model is attached. Any help for solving this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Asim

Hi Asim,

It looks like this is a bug. The Select tool does not honor 'Z Values' environment variable even though the help states that it does. As a workaround, I would recommend using the 'Feature Class to Feature Class' tool. You can apply a SQL Query when exporting the DWG file, and setting the 'Z Values' to 'Disabled' in the environment settings will be honored.
