Does anyone know why line 1 - 3 does not add feature to the map to the map. But line 6 - 8 adds the feature to the map. Only difference is that I'm using the Path to the Aprx and not "Current". I was under the impression you can add add to the map with line 6 - 8 in a stand alone script. aprx = arcpy . mp . ArcGISProject ( r 'xyz\\MyProject4\\MyProject5.aprx' ) mpDEM = aprx . listMaps ( "Map2" ) [ 0 ] mpDEM . addDataFromPath ( r "C:\xyz\Adam.gdb\ProjectBoundary" ) aprx = arcpy . mp . ArcGISProject ( "CURRENT" ) mpDEM = aprx . listMaps ( "Map2" ) [ 0 ] mpDEM . addDataFromPath ( r "C:\xyz\Adam.gdb\ProjectBoundary" )

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; } } }

wild guess is that that method requires a "layer"

Layer—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop

and not a featureclass in a gdb. Use Save to Layer file to make a lyrx out of the featureclass and try loading that file instead of the featureclass reference

the "Current" one works because the aprx is open

Yeah it was the save thing.

I figured out what I have to do with the code below.

arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>AddMessage<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"Creating Project Boundary Layer..."</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>management<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>MakeFeatureLayer<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>Project_Boundary<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"ProjectBoundary"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN>Expression<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>

the last one... did you add

aprx.save()

after line 4?

Just to make sure... you don't have the project open do you when you run the last example do you? It won't update.

The ones that use "Current" are designed to run in the python window inside of ArcGIS Pro. The code for adding an existing layer to an aprx should be run in a standalone python IDE like spyder and not in pro's python window

Thanks, Dan

I've tried for hours but I don't get it. I tried to Make

I want to add a Layer to an existing APRX/Map not to the Current APRX I have open.

I even tried to add a layer with ESRI's example below. I can't get the below example to work.

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> arcpy
aprx <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ArcGISProject<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>

This below script should work no ?
