To save us some time, what are the data requirements and what format is your data in? ... View more

What type of method are you proposing to do this?  There are few/no tools available that don't produce point distributions based upon a specific pattern (ie random, circular, grid, linear etc) ... View more

If that is all you have, then you don't have much to go on.  To do an intersection you need spatial information.  Does these data come from some source of linear referencing? ... View more

don't know if it has been approved but no issues other than copying code blocks from the GeoNet site...ArcMap has no issues that I have detected...besides IE 8 and 9 were quite some time ago ... View more

Tim...is there someone else that login to your machine to see if it your user profile that may be causing the issue.  Has there been any print jobs sent to the printer prior to you running ArcMap?  Don't dispaire!!! ... View more

I am not sure, but I will cc the one person who would know... Melita Kennedy‌ ... View more

can't help you with the latter part...thought you were editing simple features ... View more

You have a thing about with statements check the syntax in the arcpy.da.insertcursor of the help file for using insertcursors ... View more

From my reading, the with statement handles the appropriate start operations so you second line is superfluous as shown in Example 1 ... View more

do you really need global coverage?  How many areas do you have of local coverage? perhaps just working with those would be better and provide a means of linking to the more detailed coverage ... View more

your polyline appears to be meters or degrees.  Do not use unprojected data when determining buffers unless you want to calculate geodesic buffers which should be oval.  Project your data if you want to work in Euclidean space ... View more

Totally not tried...but if you have overlaps there was a blog post regarding this at  Introducing the Spatial Analyst Supplemental tools | ArcGIS Blog‌  buried in there is reference to tabulate areas with overlaps...I don't know what version of Arc it works with, but it is worth a shot...the download site is contained within the missive ...

if you collected coordinates via a gps without changing the gps settings, then they should be in a WGS 84 coordinate system, however, it looks like you didnt clear out the waypoints prior to collecting the data and exporting the file since at least one of the coordinates is in a different hemisphere.  I would revisit the procedure that you used to get the data into a shapefile before proceeding ...

If you just need to define the coordinate system use the Define Projection tool in Arctoolbox...if you need the actual coordinates, follow the advice of others ... View more
