I need to calculate multiple ring-buffers, but every time I try, arcgis produces a failure:

Executing (Multiple Ring Buffer): MultipleRingBuffer Y:\GIS\RDY\clip\sn_clip.shp Y:\GIS\RDY\sn_clip_ring.shp 100;250;500;750;1000;1250;1500;1750;2000;2250;2500;2750;3000;3250;3500;3750;4000;4250;4500;4750;5000;5250;5500;5750;6000;6250;6500;6750;7000;7250;7500;7750;8000;8250;8500;8750;9000;9250;9500;9750;10000;10250;10500;10750;1100 Meters distance ALL FULL Start Time: Fri Feb 15 12:03:02 2013 Running script MultipleRingBuffer...

I don't get it. Can anyone help me with this? Note that I'm not used to python.

What version of ArcGIS are you using? – Mapperz♦ Feb 16 at 20:20

couldn't help but notice that your last increment doesn't follow from the previous ie 10750;1100 is 1100 supposed to be 11000 ? – Dan Patterson Feb 16 at 21:21
@ Mapperz: i'm using ArcMap 10.1 – Seba Feb 17 at 13:18
@Dan Patterson: thanks for that announcement, but that's not the error. – Seba Feb 17 at 13:19

Have you tried selecting out a single feature from Y:\GIS\RDY\clip\sn_clip.shp into a new much smaller shapefile and tried MultipleRingBuffer on that to see if your procedure or data seems to be the issue? – PolyGeo Feb 18 at 9:11

Has there been a resolution for this problem? I am having a similar issue although I am getting 'append' error instead. Seems like a new problem to me, I have used this tool a couple months ago without any problem.

No, sorry. We did not solve the problem yet. One of our IT-guys did the job on other ways. – Seba Mar 5 at 10:56
