The problem i am having is that as the file size of my netcdf files gets bigger it takes a lot of time for this function to complete (around 10 minutes for 1 mb file) and creates a crf of 1 GB which is quite huge. How can i optimize this function so that it processes the file faster and it creates a crf that does not takes up that much space?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><LI-CODE lang="python">netCDF_in = r"C:\Users\arcgis\New\test_large.nc" temperature = "temperature" out_rasterdataset=r"C:\Users\arcgis\temperature.crf" p=arcpy.md.MakeMultidimensionalRasterLayer(in_multidimensional_raster=netCDF_in, out_multidimensional_raster_layer=temperature,variables=["sea_floor_salinity","sea_floor_temperature"]) arcpy.CopyRaster_management( "temperature", out_rasterdataset,"",None,-3.402823e+38,"NONE","NONE","","NONE","NONE", "CRF", "NONE", "ALL_SLICES", "TRANSPOSE")</LI-CODE><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 19 Oct 2021 14:51:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1108826#M62684 RehanChaudhary 2021-10-19T14:51:04Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1110488#M62773 <P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/copy-raster.htm" target="_blank">Copy Raster (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A></P><P>The option <STRONG>Build Multidimensional Transpose</STRONG> may be the cause so you should look at whether you require its functionality</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/conversion/raster-to-other-format-multiple-.htm" target="_blank">Raster To Other Format (Conversion)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A>&nbsp;is another option</P> Sat, 23 Oct 2021 08:53:19 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1110488#M62773 DanPatterson 2021-10-23T08:53:19Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1112807#M62853 <P>i tried running without it and it still takes the same amount of time and a lot of space</P> Mon, 01 Nov 2021 11:21:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1112807#M62853 RehanChaudhary 2021-11-01T11:21:10Z https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1112899#M62862 <P>Nothing more to suggest then</P> Mon, 01 Nov 2021 16:55:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/how-to-optimize-copy-raster-function-when-copying/m-p/1112899#M62862 DanPatterson 2021-11-01T16:55:31Z
