Workaround

  • Shift the cutter line a bit in x direction so that the difference between x values is greater than the XY tolerance.
  • Copy the geometries to a new feature class that has a lower XY tolerance value.
  • Use Feature To Polygon with the line and polygon as inputs then use Clip on the resulting layer with the original polygon as the clipping feature.
