I would. At least that way you can eliminate any of the limitations of working with shapefiles. In fact, when I have run into "memory" issues, I have had some luck with exporting my input data into the same GDB that I'm using for any outputs. That way you're not switching directories. Also, I try not to bury my GIS folders and GDBs too far down in the directory structure--keep them in the root of the C drive preferable. This also prevents long path names. I hope one of our suggestions helps! Sometimes these weird "memory" issues are hard to diagnose. ... View more

Yes, ArcGIS can be quirky in what works and what doesn't sometimes, but one explanation could be that there are geometry problems only in areas outside of those 1 mile buffers. I hope it works, and I'm sorry we hijacked your thread a little with the workings of GeoNet. Let us know! ... View more

I'm a bit confused. Don't you already have the land cover as vector date (polygons)? Anyway, if so, you can just use the Spatial Join tool to join the land cover data to your points, and then run Summary Statistics, and use the land cover types field as your statistics field to get a frequency of the different land cover types for your butterfly sighting points. If you do in fact need to convert your raster to polygons first, you just need to make sure your are assigning the value field when you use the tool. It should have a different polygon for each land cover type, and then you can follow the above process. ... View more
