georeferencing, tools greyed out

michaelcollins1 — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:59:01 GMT

About 25% of the time, when I add an image for georeferencing, most of the tools are greyed out and I can't work (Fit To Display etc. see attachment). I don't have the image highlighted in ArcCatalog, I don't know what the issue is. Sometimes I have to reboot.

thanks in advance

Nevermind. If your editing layer is rotated the tools are greyed out.

Or the data frame...
I had to check the Data Frame Properties>General tab> Rotation box.
This was set to 359 59 59 for some reason and I reset it to 0 to fix the problem.

I've found a workaround. In the Data Frame Properties for the data frame that you need to georeference, go to Coordinate System. Expand layers, then the coordinate system assigned to your imagery, then click on the imagery layer that you want to georeference. It should change the Georeferencing toolbar from grayed out to active.

It works perfect for me.

My map was rotated 359º to see "right" a little section of map, but it didn't allow me to georeferencing images.

I went to Data Frame Properties -> General: and I change "rotations" 359 for 0 and tool began to be enabled.

Nice!
