iterate feature class does not recognize shapefiles

DeanBeyer

I have a number of shapefiles (home range polygons) created in R. In arcgis pro, I can reproject the shapefiles in batch just fine. However, in model builder, when I use Iterate feature classes, the shapefiles are not recognized with the project tool. The error code is:

000185: This data type is not supported

Other geoprocessing tools work just fine on these shapefiles in model builder. #project error in iterate feature class

Interesting. Try this - use the Feature Class to Feature Class GP tool on 5 or 6 shapefiles. Have the output from the GP tool go to another folder on disk. Update the Model to point to the new folder and re-run. Does the error message persist?

Folder permissions appear to be ok. Tried the Red X fixes but the model still failed with the same error. Really appreciate the help.

Robert LeClair

Not sure if this is relevant to the Red X issue you're experiencing but something else to double check - a Tech Support FAQ on the Red X.

Interesting. Check your Folder permissions perhaps? Is it set to Read-Only? I'll keep digging.

Looks like our models are very similar. The part I can't reconcile is that I can drag the same shapefiles in the batch process and it runs just fine. But it won't recognize the shapefiles when I point to the folder. Thanks for looking at it.

No problem - for the 3rd parameter i used the open folder and pointed it a folder on disk and then added .shp to end of my %Name%_Prj name. Ran the model and all input shapefiles were reprojected to WGS1984 in my c:\temp\test directory.

DeanBeyer

Robert, thanks for the response. I want the output to be shapefiles.

Robert LeClair

Dean - I created a Model in ArcGIS Pro that uses Iterate Feature Classes and the Project GP tool - see attached. My model recognized the shapefile folder without any problems. My Project GP tool output is going to a File Geodatabase - are you wanting the output to be a shapefile or geodatabase feature class? Please advise.
