Using KML to Layer tool in ArcMap always produces a GDB?
Making a KML layer “always on”Using Snap tool with iterator in ModelBuilder?Export/Convert Layer to Shapefile within ModelBuilderRaster turns into 4 separate rasters after clippingEstablishing Default Query layer for Google Earth in “Map to KML” export from ArcMap?ArcMap Exported (KML/KMZ) Meridians and Parallels do not match/ align with that of Google EarthAuto batch for all of the layers in my mxdIs there a way to get aKML data into a feature class?Error Code -2147483647 when combining vector layersImport multiple KML files into single table with preserving layer name as (additional) column
When I use this tool to convert a KML into ArcMap 10.6.1, the menus ask for a GeoDB, then a layer name. At least that is my understanding. I cannot for the life of me import a KML into an existing GeoDB, it always creates a new GeoDB with a single layer. So for example I have 3 different KML files and would like them to be in a single GeoDB. I always end up with 3 separate GeoDB files each with a single layer that I then need to combine. I can do that, but it seems counter productive.
Is this expected behavior for this tool?

This is expected behavior from kml to layer tool. Although counterproductive, it is possible to automate this process with a model or arcpy, but that's a different question..
