Set Target Location Not able to Setup

RajatChopra

Hello,

MY issue with arc hydro is its intial step in which we need to set up the Raster and Vector Location, Whenever I try doing that and after that if I perform some function on DEM like Fill SINK it gives me COM Error:- 10006 Something like this.
Could anyone help me up in setting up target location, so that i can process further

When I start a project, I open a new mxd, load in a base layer with the coordinate system I want and save it. Then I load the dem and agreestream layers as well as inner and outer wall layers I will use.

At this point, when I perform the Arc Hydro tasks, the target locations are automatically set. If I move the mxd and layers to another folder then I need to reset the target locations. (I now do my work on my C: drive, off the network, because I don't get as many errors.) The dem, agree streams and wall layers are the basis of the Arc Hydro work. (There could be others that I don't typically use like lakes/water bodies.) If these are the same, the results should be the same.

So there have been a few times where I've had problems with the target locations and simply started a new mxd added these basic layers and let Arc Hydro set the new target locations.

I found an old thread where the solution included renaming the normal.mxd and letting Arc Map create a new normal.mxd. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/16059-Setting-Target-Locations-ArcCatalog.

I just posted some guidlines on target locations to see if others agree on my understanding. You can find there at this link.
