Batch Project - Transformation drop down

AmySteiger — Fri, 14 May 2010 00:27:57 GMT

It would be useful to have the transformation dropdown for the batch project tool if it is identified that all the layers participating in the batch are the same coordinate system.

The single Project tool has a dropdown - at the moment to add the transformation, i have to manually type in the transformation after finding out the syntax from the Project tool.

Is there something I'm missing?

Nope, you're not missing anything. I questioned tech support about that several years ago. I don't remember exactly what they said other than you have to type the TM manually with the "batch" project tool.

Try instead using the single project tool on a "dataset" that contains your batch of FCs rather than inputting the individual FCs as a batch.

Yes, its a real pain! Thefull list is in a couple of PDF files buried in the documentation folder in the ArcGIS install location.

I have a little text file on my desktop that I can open and cut-and-paste the required transform string.
