Hello everyone,

Using Model Builder:

  •  I would like to copy FC and Tables, but only the structure without data.

  • Also I would like to copy a table for a regular SQL database in GIs, but it needs an OBJECTID.

Thanks

1. The Create Feature Class and Create Table tools accept an input data set as templates. For feature classes, you do want to specify the coordinate system (it's a parameter to the Create Feature Class tool).

2. If the output location provided to the Table to Table or Copy Rows tools is a geodatabase workspace, an OBJECTID will be automatically created. If you want to leave the table in its native format, you can register the table for use with the geodatabase.

Register a table or view with the geodatabase—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

Hope this helps!
