Hey,

I have a simple model that converts a feature class to shapefile, drops unneeded fields and then reprojects. Thats it.

Problem is the model will not run unless I first go and delete the outputs from any previous run of the model. Is there a way in the final geoprocessing step or another tool that will allow the process to overwrite any existing file?

Simple enough I would think..........

Thanks,

Mike

I know this thread is old, but I am still struggling with the overwrite option. I have the box checked in the geoprocessing options to overwrite the outputs, but it still creates a new shapefile with a "_#" added to the end. Why would this happen?

Does anyone know if this overwrite option is available in ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1?
