Batch Project - Transformation drop down

[AmySteiger]

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.
