I have more than 1000 shape files (all are point features). They were initially in WGS 84. I projected them in UTM. Then through batch processing I added X, Y fields in each table. But all the X, Y fields are now empty or rather filled with 0. I need to calculate X, Y projected coordinate through batch processing and fill newly added X, Y fields. I checked in calculate field option for batch processing under data management tool. But don't see any calculate geometry option there. Where can I find the tool in the tool box so that I can use it for batch processing all my tables to calculate X, Y in meters.
I am using ArcGIS

You can accomplish this in batch mode, in ModelBuilder and with Python.
Batch Mode:
Note that the can drag and drop multiple files from the highlighted section in Catalog, but only single files from the top window
ModelBuilder:
Same workflow as in batch mode, although it is much easier to string together commands in ModelBuilder.
Python
Again, the same workflow as above.
