I need the BGS layer to have exactly the same grid as the soil maps so that I can preprocess it to put into a hydrological model. Is this possible in arc?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for your help!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:30:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-convert-a-shapefile-to-a-raster-file-using/m-p/588083#M33227 ElizabethLewis 2012-03-26T09:30:26Z Re: How to convert a shapefile to a raster file using an existing grid? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-convert-a-shapefile-to-a-raster-file-using/m-p/588084#M33228 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You would like to convert to a raster and then also maintain the same grid spacing?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If you have the original raster to emulate, then you can set the </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Output_Extent/001w00000009000000/">extent</A><SPAN> and </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//001w0000000m000000">snap raster</A><SPAN> to that raster prior to converting with the</SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00120000002v000000"> Feature to Raster tool</A><SPAN>.&nbsp; Also be sure that the cell sizes match as well.&nbsp; That is the only way I think you can get the two to match.&nbsp; Set the environment settings prior to the conversion.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 26 Mar 2012 10:17:28 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-convert-a-shapefile-to-a-raster-file-using/m-p/588084#M33228 JeffreySwain 2012-03-26T10:17:28Z
