Import Mosaic Dataset Geometry (Data Management)

Summary

Modifies the feature geometry for footprints, the boundary, or seamlines in a mosaic dataset to match those in a polygon feature class.

Illustration

Usage

Syntax

ImportMosaicDatasetGeometry_management (in_mosaic_dataset, target_featureclass_type, target_join_field, input_featureclass, input_join_field)
ParameterExplanationData Type
in_mosaic_dataset

Path and name of mosaic dataset.

Mosaic Layer
target_featureclass_type

The polygon feature class in the mosaic dataset whose geometry will be replaced.

  • FOOTPRINTThe footprint polygons in the mosaic dataset.
  • SEAMLINEThe seamline polygons in the mosaic dataset.
  • BOUNDARYThe boundary polygon in the mosaic dataset.
String
target_join_field

Field in the mosaic dataset that will link to correct geometry in the input feature class.

Field
input_featureclass

The polygon feature class with the new geometry for the mosaic dataset.

Feature Layer ; Raster Catalog Layer
input_join_field

Field in the input feature class that will link to the correct row in the mosaic dataset.
