Then you can add the layer file through the Add Data function in AGX.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>One of the good things about this setup is you can, by default, turn off footprints/boundaries (otherwise AGX will try to identify the footprint polys), and tweak the symbology for your layer (ie turning off stretching or modifying your bands).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Just remember, mosaic datasets use absolute file paths when referencing the underlying image files.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:47:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/ag-explorer-doesn-t-read-ai-binary-grids-or-mosaic/m-p/233180#M1454 norie 2012-08-20T19:47:24Z
