Naming in Modelbuilder

[DavidCampbell]

Hi All,

I have a model that I run more than once sometimes and I use %'s to define the names of outputs when I can. I am running into an issue when the output already exists in the location I am directing it to, the output changes its name to the actual name not the %value% as I have defined. This is brutal as I have iterators and i need each iteration to be unique. I have a delete and re-create folder in there right now, but that is painful. Is there another way?

Thanks,

David

Have you tried use %i%? This will always create a unique name for the output file.
