So I'm trying to convert an 'Arc' feature class that's held within a coverage to a geodatabase feature class. The coverages also contain tic, point, and annotation features, all of which convert with a problem. If I create the geodatabase and then import the coverage files, they all copy over, except the 'arc' file. The tool does not tell me the 'arc' file hasn't copied, good job I kept the coverage! I have also tried: Copy, Copy Features, and Feature to Polygon... none of them worked. The error message I get is:
ERROR 000732: Input Features: Arc does not exist or is not supported
Now here's the strange thing... the arc feature class won't copy over in Python or in Arc Catalog, but if I use the exact same parameters in ArcMap I can get the arc feature class into the geodatabase without a problem... Another ESRI glitch???
So anyone have a fix for me? All my service packs are up-to-date, just haven't converted from 10.0 to 10.1 yet...
UPDATE:
I can use the Feature Class to Geodatabase tool in ArcMap and it converts, no problem... I can run the same tool in model builder (within ArcMap), no problem. When I save the model as a script and run it, then it refuses. Slowly but surely driving me insane...
