Model Builder Overwriting my final output

[JohnByrne]

Hi,

I am trying to create a grid index based upon an ID field and have managed to create the workflow in model builder and everything is working great until the final output where the process overwrites the final output.

I have attached a picture of the workflow in model builder so you can see the steps taken and hopefully offer some advice.

Thanks

John

John,

Do you have the "Overwriting the outputs of geoprocessing operations" option checked?

Hopefully this helps...

Thanks George,

Yes I do but essentially I want to produce several final outputs so they are relevant to each ID Field. I have also ran the process with the overwrite both on and off.

You may need to look into have an In-line Variable Substitution. This should allow you to have multiple outputs that are from the iterated tool.

These examples may help better clarify what needs to be completed.

Hi George,

When I try using any of these invariable strings I get an error stating that there's an invalid string and it either stops the process or crashes it completely!!

George, in fact your help was perfect.

Thanks
