I have successfully created a model that iterates over feature classes in a geodatabase and converts a specific named feature layer to shapefile. What I would like to do is batch this where I can target several geodatabases to do the same function. When setting up the batch job (R-click the model and hit Batch...) the model only converts the first geodatabases and finishes. Any thoughts? This is a fairly urgent request so a timely response would be greatly appreciated! #modelbuilder arcgis10.3 feature class iterator #batch geoprocessing

This is not supported. ModelBuilder in Batch

The way to do this is to create a sub model to "iterate an iterator". No code required!

Even though modelbuilder is a great tool to automate geoprocessing workflows, you can always use Python scripts for operations like these that involve large amount of iterations. If you are unfamiliar with this, please visit ArcGIS Python sources and videos to get a quick info and write your own code.

It is possible to add a batch tool type to modelbuilder?
