I have a big dataset imported into ArcMap. For each point, I created a buffers of 200m. And I apply Intersect to all the buffers, resulting in a huge dataset of around 2183962 objects.
Previously, I have similar sets of data which are all significantly smaller than this, I export them to shapefile and by using the shapefile module, I created a Python script to extract each polygon (to be precise, each "Intersection") based on an attribute called bbox (in the Python shapefile module) and then do some other operations.
Now, because the dataset is too big, I wasn't able to export the dataset to shapefile since the limitation is 2GB although I manage to export to XML workspace of a file size around 13 GB.
Is there anyway around this?
