A layer began failing to draw. I'd been appending to it to host many tiles of contours in one shape.

DerekJones · ‎04-03-2015

It's a single shape file that had approx 12 tiles, then had another 10 added,

and was being appended with another 10 when it stopped being able to be drawn

I've Checked and attempted to repair the Geometry (Results below)

How else might I resolve this?

Could I have been putting too much data into the shape file (They are 2 ft contours) ?

Are there other tools or programs for troubleshooting compromised shapefiles?
