I am running into an issue when the output already exists in the location I am directing it to, the output changes its name to the actual name not the %value% as I have defined. This is brutal as I have iterators and i need each iteration to be unique. I have a delete and re-create folder in there right now, but that is painful. Is there another way?</P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks,</P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>David</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:30:06 GMT DavidCampbell 2014-11-21T22:30:06Z Naming in Modelbuilder https://community.esri.com/t5/modelbuilder-questions/naming-in-modelbuilder/m-p/880383#M3583 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi All,</P><P style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</P><P>I have a model that I run more than once sometimes and I use %'s to define the names of outputs when I can.
