Point to Line tool

[MarcSmith-Doiron]

Shapefile is not created while using the Point to Line tool.  Not receiving any error, just shapefile is not being saved.

Perhaps share the Python script you're using, or a screenshot of your tool dialog. Also, what version and product are you using? More details, please.

[MarcSmith-Doiron]

I'm using ArcGIS 10.2 Advanced License.

My input file is a point shapefile.

Even though I stated a location (tried different directories) for the output file. it is not saved.  There were also no errors in the session.

Lets try a visual

As you can see the Elapsed Time is 0.00 seconds.  don't know why it's not working.

[MarcSmith-Doiron]

Here are a few observations from my dataset.  It is a CSV file.  I import it into ArcGIS and create a point shapefile (WGS_1984).

group	lat	lon
1	37.078	-83.392
1	37.09	-83.335
1	37.102	-83.278
1	37.116	-83.222
1	37.13	-83.166
1	37.146	-83.111
1	37.164	-83.056
1	37.182	-83.002
1	37.203	-82.949

make the csv file an event layer using File, Add Data, Add XY data and bring it into a new arcmap data frame

just for fun, save it as a featurelayer or even its own shapefile by exporting it.

use that file in the tool, ensuring that you have no records selected and that the layer indeed does show on screen

PS

pick a file path without spaces

don't use anything other than letters, numbers and the _ in file names  ie no '-' just to be safe

Tried everything that you mentioned, still does not work.  I'm wondering if there is a problem with my Point to Line tool.

[DarrenWiens2]

Just to beat a dead horse, I get the following error when I try to save using your file name, because it contains a hyphen. No hyphen, no problem. I'm not sure why you don't see this error.

[MarcSmith-Doiron]

Sorry about that, I noticed the error with the hyphen in the name, I corrected it, but still got the same problem  I spoke with the person I got the data from, and he was able to use the Point to Line tool with no problems.  He's thinking that there might be a glitch in my Point to Line tool.  I will probably need to contact ESRI about this issue.

Thanks for your help.
