I am writing a script tool to be used in ArcGIS Pro. The script tool performs some geoprocessing and saves its results to a folder. What I would like to do is add the results from disk back to the current map document. Basically, I am looking for the equivalent to the below for arcpy.mp in Python 3: import arcpy from arcpy import env # get the map document mxd = arcpy . mapping . MapDocument ( "CURRENT" ) # get the data frame df = arcpy . mapping . ListDataFrames ( mxd , "*" )[ 0 ] # create a new layer newlayer = arcpy . mapping . Layer ( path_to_shapefile_or_feature_class ) # add the layer to the map at the bottom of the TOC in data frame 0 arcpy . mapping . AddLayer ( df , newlayer , "BOTTOM" ) I need to add a shapefile, not a .lyrx file. Is there a way to do this with arcpy.mp? I have been looking everywhere.

shp_path = # path to shape file aprx = arcpy . mp . ArcGISProject ( "CURRENT" ) map = aprx . listMaps ( ) [ 0 ] # assumes data to be added to first map listed map . addDataFromPath ( shp_path )

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How can I add a feature class (shapefile) to the current map doc using arcpy.mp (Python 3)?

I need to add a shapefile, not a .lyrx file. Is there a way to do this with arcpy.mp? I have been looking everywhere.

And this works for adding feature classes, as well. Thank you.

Joshua, thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. The .addDataFromPath method is a lifesaver.

Sorry Dean, I don't use Pro ... overread that ...

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the link! It is helpful, but it does not address how to perform the operation with the arcpy.mp module. I have used the arcpy.mapping module in the past, but now I am on ArcGIS Pro. It seems like some of the changes from mapping ---> mp have made certain operations very difficult! It is mind-boggling to me that it should be so hard to add a shapefile from disk to the TOC.
