Creating Point from XY Fails if not saving into project folder (
Hi,
I have a weird problem where Arc will not convert my csv into a shapefile unless I save it into my project folder. I import the csv, check the data types, and run Create Point from XY:
Input Table ozone.csv
Output Feature Class C:\Users\Arya\Documents\ozone.shp
X Field Site Longitude
Y Field Site Latitude
Z Field
Coordinate System GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]];-400 -400 1000000000;-100000 10000;-100000 10000;8.98315284119521E-09;0.001;0.001;IsHighPrecision

But if I change the output to be stored within the project, it works fine:
