Create Raster Dataset fail

RichardThurau — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:31:38 GMT

Hi,
Simple python code, keeps failing, not sure what's happening. Any help is much appreciated.

CoordSys = r"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Coordinate Systems\Projected Coordinate Systems\UTM\NAD 1983\NAD 1983 UTM Zone 11N.prj" LCOutDir = r"E:\Projects\TV\TV_Trees_working.gdb" arcpy.env.workspace = LCOutDir SmallTree_mosaic1 = os.path.join(LCOutDir, "SmallTree_mosaic1")   arcpy.CreateRasterDataset_management (LCOutDir, SmallTree_mosaic1, 1, "8_BIT_UNSIGNED", CoordSys, 1, "", "PYRAMIDS 0", "", "NONE", "")

Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Projects\TV\01_Python\LandCover\rtc_LC_2.0.2_Tile_Trees_081412.py", line 50, in <module>

Thanks

Hi Richard,

It looks like you are specifying the full path of the new raster in the second parameter of the Create Raster function. This parameter will only require the name of the new raster. Try the following instead:

arcpy.CreateRasterDataset_management(LCOutDir, "SmallTree_mosaic1", 1, "8_BIT_UNSIGNED", CoordSys, 1, "", "PYRAMIDS 0", "", "NONE", "")
