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().

do you mean makefeaturelayer ?

StephenEldridge

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.

DanPatterson_Retired

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

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
