I have around 160 feature classes that I need to convert into ascii files. Spatial statistics tool ---> Utilities ---> Export feature attribute to ascii only allows converting one file at a time. Is there any way to export all my features to ascii in one go? Any script written?

I would try using the batch grid control.

Instead of double-clicking or using right-click to Open a tool, use right-click Batch.

If your 160 feature classes are all in the same workspace you should be able to multiple-select them in the Catalog window and drag them into the first column.

I tested it below and it seemed to run OK.

  • Thank you so much PolyGeo, unfortunately, By default, it should take the 'output ascii name' as the 'input file name', but it doesn't.

  • To do the Output ASCII File names I entered "C:\temp\test.asc" and right-clicked to Fill the rest of the column with the same value. I then manually entered a number to distinguish each. The Default value is empty.
