You also have the option to type in a wildcard or choose a specific feature type (point/line/polygon) to filter the datasets that will be input into the model. Key point – you can only use one iterator per model Step 2ĭouble click the Iterate Feature Classes tool and browse to the Workspace or Feature Dataset where your source data is stored. You can refer to this quick tour of using iterators from the ArcGIS Desktop help for a list of the different iterators and how they work. If you were reclassifying raster datasets for example you would choose the Raster iterator. In this example we have chosen Iterate Feature Classes as the source datasets are shapefiles. In ArcCatalog open up ModelBuilder and select the iterator you require from the Insert menu. You have received shapefiles from a data vendor in a world geographic projection system (WGS84) but you need all of your data to be in a local projected coordinate reference system (ED50 UTM31N) and saved as feature classes in your project geodatabase. Let’s look at a common E&P data management example: Iteration means ‘looping’ so by using one of these you can run an entire model or individual geoprocessing tool repeatedly on multiple datasets at the click of a button! For example if you need run through a hydrological flow modelling workflow for different study areas then using a ModelBuilder Iterator would be ideal for performing the task in a quick and efficient way. If you wish to speed up a workflow by automatically repeating a process on many different datasets you can use one of the iterator functions in ModelBuilder.

There is however a 3 rd way you could consider that is far quicker than using the ‘batch’ option, plus you don’t need to know any Python! In a previous blog it was discussed how you can use ArcPy to perform batch geoprocessing instead of using the ‘batch’ option for a tool.
