Use the Batch template

The Batch template allows you to import multiple projects and process them sequentially. You can configure the processing options for each project and remove or add projects after the batch project has been created.

Create a project

To create a batch project, complete the following steps:

  1. Start Drone2Map.
  2. Sign in using your ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS credentials.
  3. Provide a name for your project and choose a location where you'll save it or accept the default.
  4. Select the Batch template.
  5. Click Add Project and browse to the location of the Drone2Map project folder, select the .d2mx file in the folder, and click OK.
  6. Click Create to create the project.
  7. On the Home tab, click the Projects button Attributes to view information about each project.
  8. Click a project in the table to select it.
  9. On the Home tab, click the Options button and review the checked options. All of the previous options you configured on your projects should be present. You can change any option on the project before processing.
  10. If you change any options for a project, click OK to save the options.
  11. Click Start to begin processing.

The Manage pane appears and projects should start processing starting in their project table order. You will see the status of processing, which will show as complete when the processing is done for that project.

Open a project

Once processing is completed for a project, it can be opened with the following workflow:

  1. On the Home tab, click the Projects button Attributes to open the Projects table.
  2. Select the project in the table that has completed processing.
  3. On the Home tab, click the Open Project button Drone Project to open the project.

    A new instance of Drone2Map will open for each project opened.
