it is possible to read image catalogs with ArcGIS Explorer 1500

[AnnemarieJordan]

Hello,

since two weeks I work with ArcGIS Explorer. I am at a loss. I work with a lot of raster data. I want to know whether it is possible to read with ArcGIS Explorer image catalogs (.dbf - files) or it is possible that the created raster catalog with ArgGIS Catalog can be read by ArcGIS Explorer.

Thanks
Joan

Annemarie,

You need to use ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView/ArcEditor/ArcInfo) to create a Layer File for the Raster Catalog. Then you can add that Layer File to ArcGIS Explorer. You will need to ensure all your rasters have a spatial reference defined.

There is also a bug logged for this with the workaround that mike wrote.
NIM056429 - Raster Catalogs cannot be added from a Geodatabase in ArcGIS Explorer.

Workaround
1. Right Click on the Raster Catalog in ArcCatalog.
2. Click �??Create Layer�?? and save the layer file.
3. This layer file can be added to ArcGIS Explorer using the Add Content -> ArcGIS Layers option.
