Dealing with attachments and re-projection

CherylTrine — Sun, 15 Feb 2015 20:08:48 GMT

I have several feature classes for which I attached photos to points using the Attachment tools. I need to project the feature class to another coordinate system, but when I do the relationship is lost. If there were only one photo per point, I perhaps I could store the path to the photo as an attribute in the feature class table , but I have multiple photos for some points so that won't work.

Is there any way to get the relationship class rebuilt for the projected feature class. Re-creating the attachments one by one is not feasible. If there is not a way, I am going to have to dump attachments, they are just too limited!

Cheryl,

This might help you: 40289 - Geodatabase attachments are not automatically included in the output of geoprocessing tools

Thanks, Tim,

I have spent hours trying to find a solution, but I guess I never used quite the right search to find this! This looks like it should solve the problem. I won't be able to try it until tomorrow; if it works, I'll mark it as answered.

Thanks, again,

Cheryl
