I have a model which processes a user specified polygon feature class InputFC
, with the final result a dissolved (based on a user specified dissolve field D_FIELD
) polygon feature class OutputFC
. The model also creates a file geodatabase and an empty feature class called FinalFC
using InputFC
as a template (for the attribute schema).
If I were doing this manually, I would now load the data from OutputFC
into FinalFC
using the Simple Data Loader
in ArcCatalog. Since they have the same table structure, ArcCatalog would automatically match D_FIELD
in OutputFC
to its matching D_FIELD
in FinalFC
and load the data into it. The rest of the attributes in FinalFC
would be empty. Is this functionality available as a tool for ModelBuilder, or is there a better way to get the dissolved data into the correct table structure?

I think the Append tool is what you're looking for. Just make sure the schema_type is set to 'TEST'.
