I'm trying to take a single input raster and clip it into multiple rasters using the polygons in a shapefile using ArcGIS-ArcInfo 9.3 with a Spatial Analyst license.  I'd use the HawthTools Clip-raster-by-polygons tool but it doesn't seem to be working any longer (clips raster, but adds no data lines into output at random).

Any ideas?

Use the "Extract by Mask" tool.  You'll have to cycle through and select each polygon separately before running the tool.

Thanks for your response - this needs to be done as a batch operation - I have 10,000+ polygons...

I created a simple model to do this using iterators. All of my polygons are in one feature class. The attachment shows how I set it up. I did find it was pretty slow though.
