I'm attempting to use Zonal Geometry to identify narrow polygons using ArcGIS Pro 3.6.1. I've tried both Zonal Geometry and Zonal Geometry as a Table.
1. Zonal Geometry. The Zonal Geometry tool works in a minute or so in the desktop app and creates an output raster in my geodatabase with an uncompressed size of 577.76 MB (19629 columns x 7716 rows, 32 Bit floating point), but I'm not having joy with using Python. The Python window in the app attempts to run, and I can see that *.tif files are created in the temp directory. However, the function seems to spin on so I have ended after 60 minutes or so. When I try to run as a standalone script I receive ERROR 000354: The name contains invalid characters. However, I don't see any name errors.
I want to run this for many jurisdictions identified by a string variable "jc", so I create a variable for the input grid (inGrid = "tmp" + jc ) which is a 0.2m resolution raster created from a feature class to raster conversion. The class field is a long integer field (zoneField = "PID_int") , the geometry metric is 'THICKNESS' and the cell size is 0.2m. I also create a variable for the output (zgGrid = "zonegeo" + jc)
so the function looks like this:
zgresult= ZonalGeometry(inGrid, zoneField, 'THICKNESS', 0.2)
zgresult.save(zgGrid)
I have also tried making a raster layer first:
I am running on a reasonably well resourced laptop with plenty of storage space. I'm using VSCode as an IDE and have the correct python interpreter for this version or ArcGIS Pro / arcpy.
I use env.workspace to set the workspace to my geodatabase for this project.
I also use env.extent and env.mask = inGrid in order to limit the processing as much as possible.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
000354: The name contains invalid characters.—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
invalid characters can include a period or a space, check your workspace path, perhaps copying the *.tif files to it and setting it as your temp or workspace folder (eg c:/testfolder is a good short simple path for inputs and outputs)
