Feature Class To Geodatabase (Conversion Tools)

Summary

Converts one or more feature classes or feature layers to geodatabase feature classes.

Usage

  • The name of the output feature classes will be based on the name of the input feature class. For example, if the input is C:\base\streams.shp, the output feature class will be named streams.

  • If the name of an output feature class already exists in the output geodatabase, and the Allow geoprocessing tools to overwrite existing datasets option is unchecked, a number will be appended to the end of the feature class name to make it unique (for example, rivers_1). If any of the input feature classes have the same name, a number will also be appended to the output feature class names, regardless of the overwrite existing datasets option. Otherwise, the feature class will be overwritten.

  • To transfer domains, subtypes, attribute rules, field groups, and contingent values to the output geodatabase, check the Transfer Geodatabase Field Properties environment.

  • This tool does not support annotation.
