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?

    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: thanks for that announcement, but that's not the error.

    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?
