Batch Warp using a text file?

Hi there,

The description for the Warp tool in ArcGIS 10 says "Performs a transformation on the raster based on the source and target control points using a polynomial transformation. This is similar to georeferencing using a text file." Problem is, there is nowhere for me to load the text file! I have hundreds of rasters that need to be georeferenced. How to do this as a batch process by loading a text file?

Thanks,
Christi

Hi Christi,

I believe the Help documentation is stating that it is similar to using a text file in the Georeferencing toolbar in the Link Table > Load, however the Warp command currently does not have the ability to accept text files as input. At 9.3.1, the Warp command in Raster Calculator would use a text file, but at 10, I don't believe the Warp command is valid anymore. I would post this idea on the Ideas website to have this functionality added to the Warp geoprocessing tool.

Please use the Warp From File tool rather than the Warp tool. It's available in ArcGIS 10.1.
