000953 : Extent of the overlay operation will be empty.

Description

There may be multiple causes of this error:

• The extents of the input feature classes do not have a common area. Since the extents do not overlap, the output extent cannot be properly set and no features can be generated in the output.
• The input has no input features. In a tool such as FeatureToLine, no output features can be created when there are no input features.

Solution

• If you would like to run the tool successfully even if the extent of the inputs does not overlap, consider temporarily setting the Extent environment to Union of Inputs. Learn more about geoprocessing environments.
• If the input has no features, this is the expected result.
