MakeRasterLayer - strange layer names using ModelBuilder

Gordon_Aberdeen — Wed, 09 Aug 2023 13:13:20 GMT

Hi All,

another MakeRasterLayer question:

For the layername I am using %Name%

the names of the layers look like:

%Name%:<the name of my layer>

for example

%Name%:RasterName1

%Name%:RasterName2

For some reason the Layer names are adding a non-interpreted value %Name% and the Colon..in front of each layer with the MakeRasterLayer in ModelBuilder.

I've been complaining about this very issue, it was functionality that was introduced into ArcPro in version 2.9 I think. It breaks all sort of model logic. So in response to this ESRI have not accepted it was a bad idea, get rid of it, they just put in an option to turn it off /on. I have it turned off!

Go to application options > Modelbuilder tab > and turn it off!
