I am wondering if there's another way to convert raster data (ex: DEM) into regularly sampled points. I've used Raster to Point
under ArcToolbox previously, but if the raster data is huge, that's a lot of points! Is there a way to specify the number of points or to specify the cell width and height so they're nicely spread out? I am aware of the Create a Fishnet
tool, but that doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Alternatively, you could proceed as followed:
The key here is the aggregation factor which controls the degree of generalization of your input data, e.g. the spacing of the resulting sampling points.
