Additional Information

Modifying the XY Resolution and XY Tolerance that deviated from the original data's values stored in spatial reference can be expected to cause excessive movement of the data, leading to bad output. Throughout the documentation, we highly recommend users set their spatial reference to all its default properties, and we highly recommend they do not set any of the geoprocessing environments that override spatial reference properties. We also have a blog discussing this and how to repair your data to get its spatial reference back to its default and repair the geometries (this blog discusses making the XY Resolution and XY Tolerance very small, but it applies to any deviation from the default). - https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/analytics/geoprocessing-resolution-tolerance-and-hair/. How these properties are applied during storage and analysis is well documented if a user wants to understand the impact: -https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/feature-class-basics.htm -https://support.esri.com/en-us/technical-paper/understanding-coordinate-management-in-the-geodatabase-1301 -https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/checking-and-repairing-geometries.htm -https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/geodatabases/overview/the-properties-of-a-spatial-reference.htm Throughout the documents, we have added cautions about modifying these spatial reference properties or setting non-default values for the equivalent geoprocessing environments. Caution: By default, a tool that uses this environment setting will use the XY tolerance of the input feature class's spatial reference. Overriding the default XY Tolerance is not recommended. Instead, ensure that your input data spatial reference uses the default settings for its XY Resolution and XY Tolerance properties prior to analysis. In the geoprocessing documentation, we discuss this here: -https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/appendices/spatial-reference-and-geoprocessing.htm -https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/detect-and-repair-invalid-spatial-references.htm
