I have created a simple tool which finds all properties that lay within a polygon feature (select layer by location), and then exports to a filegeodatabase (Feature class to feature class).  I am wondering if I can get the output filename to be dynamic, and include today's date in the feature class filename each time it is run? Currently it exports LandParcelRateParking, if I run it each week it simply overwrites last weeks table. Can I get it to append to the filename to be something like: LandParcelRateParking05042019 LandParcelRateParking09042019 etc The model is as per below screenshot: I am guessing there is something I can do to append the date, but I am missing it....  Cheers ...

Hello, This script works. But I have some questions if this is as it should or if I can change it further.  I will try to explain with text and image. The questions lies just after the If statement.  The model works. If the statement is True then it running the top group  (see the image below) . But If the statement is false then its running the bottom group.   - As I it should and it works as I wanted to.   But The situation: But even if the model is running as it should for the false statement. I still see that the model is try to run all the parts in the true statements but with empty values.  I have tried to make a print screen at that partial moment.   This is what I can read from the log It tries to run even if it cannot och should not run. Is this a normal thing? Here I tried to explain the question as an image.    ... View more

I have a model builder process that will create a shapefile, that later is retrieved by another process.  The other process requires a zip file input.  Is there any way I can zip up these files within model builder? ... View more

Hi all, I have a challenge I cant find a solution on in ArcGIS. This is so much easier for me in FME. But perhaps there is a elegant fix.  What I want: I want to devide polygons in sub areas. But the sub areas can not be less then 140000.  What I think I need to do:  To iterate Area/N with Area/N+1 until Area is 140000 or less. I will try to illustrate in the image below.  Ive tried to look at the iterations and logic functions but cant find any solution with them. So what I think I have to do is  perhaps to pre run  the field calculator tool  and add condition values with (N values( wich a can later use as a  parameter for the Subdivide tool.. But i am not sure. Am quite stuck.       ... View more

I seem to be having  issues getting a String variable to work. I am attempting to get a Date (formatted as YYYYMMDD) in a String Variable which then gets used as a part of an export filename. I was getting a "1" output instead of the Date originally (and other errors) but now I am managing to get the date but also keep getting errors about incorrect naming. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? The original demo tool I used to figure this out so far (provided here) has the same issue!   ... View more
