If it works right, it can be a time saver for processing raster data. For example, copying and pasting text that you generate with a script or excel to the batch raster grid. But I have two problems with it:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>First, If I want to add batch parameters for a thousand grids, I can easily generate the parameters a variety of ways, but I can't just paste them into the batch grid - I need to click on the "+" symbol a thousand times to add a thousand records so I can paste. If I try to paste a thousand rows from excel, I can actually see them all paste in, then get deleted down to the number of rows that I've added with the "+" button. That's ridiculous.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Second, the documentation for using the batch grid control says that "Browse" is available when a parameter is a dataset. However this is not always the case (for example, the "Input" variable on the "Add Rasters To Mosaic Dataset" tool.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If either one of these worked better, I could easily add a thousand grids and generate a nice batch file that let me work on something else for a while. As it is, it makes more sense to loop with python. Please improve batch grid functionality.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Jan 2011 21:02:43 GMT AndyRitchie 2011-01-24T21:02:43Z Issues with Batch Grid Control in ArcGIS 10 (copy/paste/browse) https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/issues-with-batch-grid-control-in-arcgis-10-copy/m-p/36305#M1265 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I use the batch grid control a lot to deal with large sets of rasters.
