Hello,

I have receive a .gdb with 38 files inside, but I want to change the coordinate system of each shapefile. Is there a way to do it quickly or I need to change one at a time?

Thank's

Shapefiles and file geodatabase (.gdb) are two distinct formats for geospatial data storage.
Shapefiles are standalone entities, while file geodatabase is only the container in which
tables (aka "feature classes") live.

The meaning of "change the coordinate system" can differ greatly -- what, exactly, do
you need to do?  [From what, to what?]

Odds are, you'll need to process each table sequentially, probably into a new FGDB.

You will most likely want to run the Project geoprocessing tool.  With geoprocessing tools, you can run them in batch by right-clicking on the tool > Batch.  Here is some more information:
