why can't re-projected rasters be clipped?

I would like to be able to put clip boundaries on raster images that are re-projected, but it gives an error saying it can't because they are re-projected.  Is there anyway to do this and if not why?

  • I also have been having issues with this.  I'm glad I stumbled across this thread; at least now I know I'm not crazy.  

    I think the issue for me is that all of our imagery is stored in the Michigan GeoRef coordinate system, but I need to use it in State Plane.  Every WMS image set that I try gives me the same error, about the raster file being reprojected.  It doesn't actually state in the error message that this is the reason it won't clip, but I presume that to be the case.  When I tried Pascal Cloutier's workaround above, I was informed that the fence I placed on the raster image did not overlap the selected image.  (This despite the fact that I could clearly see it on the screen, and I only had one raster dataset attached, which was properly selected.)  I guess I'll try Rod's workaround next, but my main point is that this is a ridiculous situation.  I can't possibly show our users how to do this; it's much too complex.  It should be as simple as clipping any other raster image.  

    I agree with mriley above, this is frustrating.  It's not a feature we're requesting, it's basic functionality which is lacking in one specific situation - some would call that a bug.  

    Bentley, you need to fix this!
