Errors with Append tool 000594

Question

I am trying to No_Test append a polygon feature class to another polygon feature class. Both fc's are located in the same geodatabase. I am using the Append tool with ArcGIS 10.2.

I'm getting two errors, but to focus the question on one--I keep getting Error 000594: Input Feature 1L falls outside of output geometry domains.

I recall having this issue before and being able to fix it with environmental settings, but the error still occurs with the following set:

Output Coordinates: Same as input

Processing Extent: Union of inputs

M and Z values have been disabled (although there are no M or Z values for either fc. I've read that if the fc was created in ArcGIS 9.x or earlier, it may have issues with M or Z values.)

Geodatabase Advanced: Maintain Spacial Index has been checked. Output M and Z are same as input.

Any suggestions on what else I should be troubleshooting?

Answer 1

Feature classes that are created by importing from other formats can sometimes have limited XY domains, which can be very hard to rectify. Creating a new feature class with default XY domain should resolve the issue.

Create a new (empty) feature class using your destination feature class as the template. Then append your two original feature classes into the new feature class.
