arcgis-desktoparcmapmodelbuilder
I usually use the "GPX To Features" tool to import tracks from my Garmin GPS device into ArcMap. Now I have a folder which contains around 50 GPX files which I want to convert to SHP files in one go. Using the ModelBuilder I created this model:
The problem is, that I cannot connect the green "File" oval (which should contain the current file name) as an input with the "GPX To Features" tool. The only available type of connection is "Precondition". What am I doing wrong?
Without seeing your model it seems odd that your precondition is failing. I knocked a model together (see image below) and it worked fine. When the attribute query created a selection it was copied out when nothing was selected the export was skipped. It makes me wonder if you are using the correct select tool?
Firstly rename the output of the iterator to something like "Raster" rather than 2002001.tif, just makes things clearer to understand.
Using %Name% as your inline variable substitution is taking the name of the raster from the iterator (the light blue bubble) which would of course be something like "2002001.tif". I'm guessing in the zonal stats tool your output table parameter is set to something like J:\..filepath...\%Name%
Well the substitution would create a table name ending with .tif which would be invalid as @BERA indicates in the comments. You need to rebuild the table name to something like 2002001.dbf.
dbf is a valid table name extension name. Your output table would be in a dBase format.
Use Parse Path tool to return the name part and lets assume its output is called NewName. Parse Path tool needs to be a precondition to the zonal stats tool. So finally in the zonal stats tool your output table parameter would something like J:\..filepath...\%NewName%.dbf

Using ArcGIS 10.2.2, I was able to connect the output of the iterator with the GPX to Feature tool as shown below:
The important thing to note is that I set the extension type to simply GPX, see pop-up. I also use in-line substitution to pass the gpx file name to the output shapefile.
