Export Mosaic Dataset Footprints

[PCMPCM]

Hi,
I need to export mosaic dataset's footprint, but the Copy Feature Tool doesn't work. It does not accept the mosaic dataset as input while it works with raster catalog.
Thanks

Hi,

Can you check if it works when the mosaic dataset is a layer in ArcMap? Do you then have access to the footprint layer?

Yes if I do export from ArcMap Layer it works. If I select Footprint from the table of content and with right click I do export in a feature class I can get the Footprint Layer in the GDB.
No way from the geoprocessing tools.

Hi,

It's actually doable through the GP tools.

Suppose you are working in pure scripting environment.

First, you will need to use the Make Mosaic Layer tool, make a mosaic layer from a mosaic dataset in your GDB.

Then you can call the Copy Feature tool, just specify the input as <MosaicLayer>\Footprint, then it will work.
