Why does the append annotation to feature class tool create duplicate fields and annotation classes? When I run it multiple times using the same input dataset, it creates the same fields over and over in the output feature class.
I end up with attribute fields like: AppID, AppID_1, AppID_2
And Annotation Classes like: PLAT, Annotation1_PLAT, Annotation1_PLAT_1
I would like to have one set of fields and one set of Annotation Classes that each append process just adds records to.
Any help would be apprecieated.
