Is there a way to automatically create a new polygon in an existing Feature Class with over 50'000 Vertices using ArcGIS Desktop 10.2?

There are some cool implementations of random polygon generation in this SO post. As for ArcGIS, no idea.– John PowellNov 23, 2015 at 13:31

2Can you expand more on your question why you want to create polygon features >50K vertices?– artwork21Nov 23, 2015 at 14:04

There is a Maximum amount of Vertices I can use in order to let the dataset pass as valid. If I extend the allowed amount, the check-Tools I use should give a warning. I need this polyogn to test, if the check-tool is working properly.– user3476078Nov 23, 2015 at 14:57

I would try doing this using 3-4 steps:
- Create a point
- Buffer it to create a circle
- Densify it using a small enough distance to create 50,000+ vertices (needs Standard or Advanced level license)
- Append if you need to move it into another shapefile.
The above process may be best done in a shapefile because the circular buffer will be a true curve if done in a file geodatabase.
