I'm having some problems exporting GA layers to grids in Arc10 SP2.
I re-wrote the script I was using and it worked fine for small, sample datasets, but when applied to larger datasets I got this very strange error about incompatible characters in my .GA:LayerToGrid statement which looked like
arcpy.GALayerToGrid_ga(Lyrf1bc, outGAf1bc, cellSize, cellptsHor, cellptsVer) with these variables
Lyrf1bc = "C:\working\Y2011\Plant\Raster\Temp\GAf1bc"
outGAf1bc = "C:\working\Y2011\Plant\Raster\Outputs\junk2"
cellSize = 1
cellptsHor = 1
cellptsVer = 1
I tried using letters only and short names, to no avail. So then I tried to back up and test it a little more manually, and still have problems.
So I decided to manually create the GA layers in the GeoStat wizard and batch export them to grid overnight.... This morning only one exported. In the past (9.3) this would be something that would take maybe 4 hours. I am using the same cell size and parameters as previous runs, so the datasets themselves shouldn't be that different.
I'm currently trying to export a GA layer manually (right click in ToC) and it's producing the same behavior, VERY slow exporting.
Any thoughts?
thanks
