new feature class, you will likely write spatially inaccurate data. Instead of
directly writing to the new feature class, make a copy of the original feature
class and use the Project tool to reproject that feature class to the coordinate
system that you ultimately want to use. As part of using the Project tool, you
will be able to specify a datum transformation. Once you have projected the
copy, you can copy it into the new workspace and delete the first copy. This
applies to any place in ArcMap or a geoprocessing tool that is able to write new
