I have a contour dataset, which I want to clip into tiles. The contours and tiles are both in shapefile format, GDA2020 datum (Zone 55)

Half of the output shapefiles are okay, but half have no geometry.

Since part of the output is ok, my guess would be that there's a problem with the workspace. But without more detail it's not possible to be more specfic.

I solved it by switching my shapefile writer from SHAPEFILE to ESRISHAPE.

This worked despite ESRISHAPE being the old writer that was replaced by SHAPEFILE.

I guess that SHAPEFILE still has bugs in it?
