Maya007 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hello again, I was trying to do least cost distance using ArcMAp. I tried to run least cost distance tool and it shows error as 999999. The input raster used in the cost distance tool were 1.A raster file showing the origin 2. Resulting file from a weighted overlay tool. I think the raster file showing the origin has some problem which stops the operation. I was trying with a dummy point to know how this funtion works. Is it because of that? I first made a point shape file in the map and then made the point shape file into a raster file. This was then used for the least distance operation. Waiting for some replies. Thanks a lot, Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasfans01 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 what arcgis version you are using? I currently working on my thesis about LCP too, and for ArcGIS 10.6, the cost distance tool sometimes giving up random error failed to process, now I moved to arcgis pro which is more stable, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya007 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 @pasfans, Thanks for the reply. I use ArcMap 10.5.1. I was trying to use this tool to learn how it works. So i was using dummy files and that may be the problem. I drew a point in the map using editor and assumed it as origin. Do you think that would be the reason for the error ? All the best with your thesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya007 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 It started to work now. As you said it must be just some random error due to software issues:) Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasfans01 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 yes, If you are using 10.5.1 I assume you have original license from ESRI, I suggest you to try ArcGIS pro, if you have access to arcgis online organizational license, it is more stable, and if you make a model using model builder, it has new tool called cost path as polyline, so your workflow will be simplified, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
