Hi,
I'm trying to run a script that will generate a contour map from a raster in a geodatabase, run Simplify Line on the contour map, and then run Smooth Line. At first I ran it in disk, and it worked (albeit slowly), and now I'd like to do it using the in_memory workspace. However, it returns the error message at the bottom. I've tried this in PyScripter and ArcMap with both foreground and background (64-bit) geoprocessing, and the result is the same. What is the problem with my code that is causing this to fail when I use the in_memory workspace?
