Problem in Running Patch Analyst

[PolashBanerjee]

I have prepared a Polygon Shapefile describing the forest distribution. As I try to run the patch analyst, I encounter the following error:

there is a copy restriction on this shape file. could not create a copy.

Any idea whats going on?

If it is the input file, can it be copies on its own?

Have you moved inputs and outputs to a new folder?

Thanks, I was keeping the Map in Geodatabase. As a result, it was preventing Patch Analyst to execute the analysis. I transferred it to an ordinary folder and it worked. 

Tonnes of Thanks again.

Hi Polash

Where did you find the patch analyst plug in? Is there any plug in for ArcGIS pro?

Thanks a lot
Best regards

Hi,

I´ve installed patch analyst successfully. My problem is that it takes too long to run ( nearly a day now. My computer has a RAM of 16GB. Does anyone have any idea the best way to solve this? Need to run 9 different sites, but the only one takes this long, I wonder if I can achieve the results.

Thanks so much.
