<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Sounds like a very interesting
problem. The way the environmental settings are suppose to work is tool
settings override Application Settings. Models can be a little different. If a
model is run as a tool, the tool setting are suppose to override the
application settings and the model settings are suppose to override the tool
settings. If the model is run in model builder the tool settings are
ignored and the model settings are used. The model settings are then overridden
by the Model Process settings. These are basically the properties of each tool
used in the model itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So it sound like you might have
possible conflicting settings at the model process level that are resolved by
the tool level when you run the model as a tool and not in model builder.
Does that make sense? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone experienced the following problem, if so, can you
offer a solution or explanation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m running an Append process in ArcGIS
ModelBuilder. The inputs are all using the %workspace% variable and the
workspace path is set at the model level (model properties…). If I
run the process from inside the model, it appends the records, but the
attribute values are <u>empty</u>. If I flag each input as a parameter
and run the model from the toolbox (double click model), the inputs are not
found until I set the workspace path at the tool level
(Environment…). When I run it that way, both records and values are
added to the output correctly. BTW - This only happens with
the Append tool… the other tools work properly in either scenario.
We’ve been able to duplicate this problem on other machines, so it
appears to be an ArcGIS issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bottom line - I want to be able to run the model without
having to set the environment workspace each time, and I also want to be able
to run it from inside ModelBuilder. Maybe I’m
misunderstanding the Environment Settings hierarchy, but why does it only
affect the Append tool?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone offer an explanation?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
