Hi,
I have a model I created in Model Builder that simply runs several instances of the "Feature Class to Shapefile" tool.
If I run this tool over and over again, it keeps creating new files in the output directory, incrementing the filename by a single digit each time.
For example, if I run the tool three times I will end up with:
- Water_mains.shp
- Water_mains_1.shp
- Water_mains_2.shp
Is there a way I can tell the model builder to overwrite these files instead of creating a unique file name?
I reference these files in several maps, and I thought I was updating the source data for these maps, but each time I run it it creates a new filename so the data source needs to be updated accordingly (not ideal).
Do you know how to force the model to overwrite existing data?
