Using polygon in ARCGIS PRO Toolbox

Hi,

I am trying to create a python toolbox in arcgis pro to convert polygon to raster. The polygon is supplied as feature layer in the parameters, and I used both arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) and arcpy.GetParameter(1) to call this polygon to execute the conversion, but it is not working. I get an error - Polygon doesn't exist or is not supported. Could anyone provide a solution to it?

Thanks in advance.

You have double quotes around your first parameeter "Polygon", it shouldn't them since you want to refer to the variable not a text string.

Other points. You should allow the user to specify the 'output' workspace or filename (another parameter) rather than hardcoding it.

Also it is usually preferable to use *.tif files as an output, but the user may want another form. As it stands it will become a gdb raster
