Apply Changes to Mapview

cwh

Hello,

I have the following procedure which turns layers on or off on a mapview. But I find that the changes only apply if I save the project but I find saving the project adds alot of time onto the execution of the script. Is there something different I can do, possibly some way that will just update the mapview where the layers have been turned on/off?

Thanks!

 

def SetLayers(prj, mapName, lyrs, status):
    aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prj)
    m = aprx.listMaps(mapName)[0]
    
    for lyr in m.listLayers():
        if lyr.name.upper() in lyrs:
            if status == 'on':
                lyr.visible = True
            else:
                lyr.visible = False
    aprx.save()
    del aprx

Unfortunately they took away the refreshActiveView option in pro.  If possible use CURRENT for the map.

The application always refreshes when using CURRENT

When you use the CURRENT keyword in the Python window with ArcGIS Desktop, you sometimes had to call refreshActiveView to force a screen refresh. This is no longer the case with ArcGIS Pro. All arcpy.mp API changes directly update ArcGIS Pro."
