Clip error:Duplicate Segment

Hello,
I am trying to run a clip with a couple of very large shapefiles. The original file that needs to be clipped had about 19,000 records and I think because of its size the clip would never complete (i.e. it appeared to stall during the run for hours at a time without making any progress). So to try and reduce the number of records I ran a dissolve for the attribute that I was interested in to combine a number of disjointed polygons into one. After the dissolve I have about 4,000 records. Now when I try to run the clip I get.

ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Invalid Topology [Duplicate segment.]
Failed to execute (Clip).

I tried repairing geometry, which fixed a lot of "self intersections", but I still get the error when running the clip.

Does anyone know how I might fix this problem?
Thanks,
Zack

Hi Zack,

Have you found a solution for this problem? I run into it myself, and I am not sure if this is indeed a topology issue, or just a memory problem.

Thank you in advance
