Hi,
Im using the "Buffer" geoprocessing tool to generate geodesic buffers around points (ArcMap 10). I'm buffering 200 metre distances (so fairly small).
The problem is that I get really ugly, blocky buffer polygons that have about 30 metres between points giving arc to chord differences of around 1 metre. See attached image.
Using the Buffer Wizard gives far nicer results (around 5 metres between points), however these are not geodesic.
Is it possible to specify the distance between points somehow? I would prefer them to be around 1 - 2 metres. Is there a setting that drives this, such as the precision of the coordinate system, or an environment setting?
Thanks,
-Mick
