Adding raster data within the Attributes pane in ArcGIS Pro allows you to associate a raster file with a specific feature's attribute record, often used for attaching images or other raster content to features. This differs from adding a raster dataset directly as a layer to your map view's table of contents.
Here’s how to add a raster to a designated Raster field for a feature using the Attributes pane, based on the provided information:
Steps to Add a Raster via the Attributes Pane
To add a raster file to a specific feature's Raster field in ArcGIS Pro:
-
Ensure you have the layer containing the Raster field visible in your map.
-
Navigate to the Map tab on the ribbon.
-
In the Tools group, click the Attributes button. This opens the Attributes pane, allowing you to view and edit attribute information for selected features.
Tab Group Button Map Tools Attributes -
Select the specific feature on your map whose attribute record you wish to edit and add the raster to. Its attributes will populate in the Attributes pane.
-
In the Attributes pane, locate the specific Raster field designed to hold raster data.
-
For this Raster field, click the Load Content button. This action initiates the process of browsing for the raster file you want to add.
- Tip: The Load Content button signals that you can browse for and import external content like files.
-
The Load Raster Data dialog box will appear.
-
Use this dialog box to browse your computer or network drives to find the specific raster file you want to add.
-
Once located, select the raster file and confirm your choice (usually by clicking "Open" or a similar button).
The selected raster data will then be loaded into the Raster field for the feature you selected in the Attributes pane. This links the raster file's content directly to that feature's attribute record within the geodatabase.
