Create Raster Dataset fail

RichardThurau

Hi,
Simple python code, keeps failing, not sure what's happening. Any help is much appreciated.

CoordSys = r"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Coordinate Systems\Projected Coordinate Systems\UTM\NAD 1983\NAD 1983 UTM Zone 11N.prj" LCOutDir = r"E:\Projects\TV\TV_Trees_working.gdb" arcpy.env.workspace = LCOutDir SmallTree_mosaic1 = os.path.join(LCOutDir, "SmallTree_mosaic1")   arcpy.CreateRasterDataset_management (LCOutDir, SmallTree_mosaic1, 1, "8_BIT_UNSIGNED", CoordSys, 1, "", "PYRAMIDS 0", "", "NONE", "")

Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Projects\TV\01_Python\LandCover\rtc_LC_2.0.2_Tile_Trees_081412.py", line 50, in <module>
    arcpy.CreateRasterDataset_management (LCOutDir, SmallTree_mosaic1, 1, "8_BIT_UNSIGNED", "", 1, "", "PYRAMIDS 0", "", "NONE", "")
  File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 7062, in CreateRasterDataset
    raise e

Thanks

Hi Richard,

It looks like you are specifying the full path of the new raster in the second parameter of the Create Raster function.  This parameter will only require the name of the new raster.  Try the following instead:

arcpy.CreateRasterDataset_management(LCOutDir, "SmallTree_mosaic1", 1, "8_BIT_UNSIGNED", CoordSys, 1, "", "PYRAMIDS 0", "", "NONE", "")
