Overwrite for exportToPAGX

BrettFrahm

Arcpy.mp's exportToPAGX is currently unable to export as an overwrite. Use .pagxs to store layouts and need to be able to overwrite with this function. 

 

When attempting to exportToPAGX() with the same filepath as another .pagx in that folder, I get this error:

<module>
layout.exportToPAGX(out_pagx=OutputExport)
File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\_mp.py", line 1526, in exportToPAGX
return convertArcObjectToPythonObject(self._arc_object.exportToPAGX(*gp_fixargs((out_pagx,), True)))
RuntimeError: Failed to export pagx to path: "......."

Hi Brett,

I can not reproduce this either as in-process (i.e., 'current') or as a stand-alone script. I tested 2.9 and 3.0. Can you still reproduce?  If you still can, did you try the GP env setting OverWriteOuput?

Here is a simple script that works.  And it works if I close and reopen and/or run again.

import arcpy
p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\temp\GreatLakes\GreatLakes.aprx")  #or 'current'
lyt = p.listLayouts('Layout')[0]
lyt.exportToPAGX(r"C:\Temp\Layout.pagx")
lyt.exportToPAGX(r"C:\Temp\Layout.pagx")
lyt.exportToPAGX(r"C:\Temp\Layout2.pagx")
lyt.exportToPAGX(r"C:\Temp\Layout3.pagx")
