I am using the "Interpolate Line" tool in 3D Analyst to create a profile using "Profile Graph". However, I get two error windows:

    1.

Unable to create temporary shapefile

    2.

To create a profile graph, the selected graphic or feature has to be a 3D line. To create a 3D line, use the Interpolate Line tool or Line of Sight tool.

My DEM has been selected.

Workflow: Location

Select Interpolate Line

Select line

Result following Profile Graph 1

Result following Profile Graph 1

    I have not come across this error before. So some thoughts...where is the data / mxd saved? Do you have write permissions? How was the "Wtrshd_bathy" raster created? Was it interpolated from input data, or did you convert from a TIN? Is everything projected correctly? Have you tried closing Arc and starting again in a fresh mxd?

I think @FelixIP is correct here.

Using the 3D analyst toolbar, click "3D Analyst" and then options below. A window will open. Under the "Graph Data" tab there is a box specifying the "Location to save profile graph data:".

Add in you desired location, boom, you've got it.

This worked for me:

  • Change the dataframe coordinate system.
  • Then, change it back to the original one.
