Send a feature to a map using Python

StephenEldridge

I have python script that creates a point feature class. How do I send that feature to an existing map using Python?

I believe you're looking for arcpy.mapping.AddLayer().

I am using Python script that runs in the background.

# Import arcpy module
import arcpy

#Import Time and Date
import time
import datetime

#Sets a variable to hold today's date in year month day (yyyymmdd)format to tag feature output name with the current date
currentdate = datetime.date.today().strftime("%Y""%m""%d")

# Overwrite pre-existing files
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

# Local variables:
Changes = "\\\\MyData\\Working_Data.mdb\\Changes"
Changes_Layer = "Changes_Layer"
Updates = "\\\\MyData\\My_Data.gdb\\Updates\\Updates"+str(currentdate)

# Process: Make XY Event Layer
arcpy.MakeXYEventLayer_management(Changes, "longitude", "latitude", Changes_Layer, "", "")

# Process: Feature To Point
arcpy.FeatureToPoint_management(Changes_Layer, Updates, "CENTROID")

Now I would like to add Python script that will take "Updates"+str(currentdate)" and add it to MyDataUpdates.mxd

so I assume you have ArcMap set to add results to display and set visibility on? And I have to ask the obvious...you are running this from within ArcMap? some people have tried to add layers to arcmap without it being open

My script already makes the feature and puts it into a file geodatabase. I would like it to also take that same feature class and drop it into an ArcMap.

do you mean makefeaturelayer ?
