Additional Information

The KML has geometry problems. Exporting KMLtest_0_2411211132.kmz\Polygons to a file geodatabase using the Copy Features tool and running the Check Geometry tool identifies invalid short segments in both geometries. The Clip tool fails to process these features unless repaired.

Workaround

  1. Use the Copy Features tool with the KML polygons.
  2. Repair the geometries.
  3. Run the Clip tool.
