Clear Selected Features in All layers

TimWitt

I am looking for a way with python to clear all selected features in my dataframe. Like the "Clear Selected Features" button in ArcMap.

I have been looking for this online and just could not find it.

The only thing I can find is SelectLayerByAttribute_management(in_layer_or_view,"CLEAR_SELECTION")
The problem there is, that I need to feed it a specific layer, but I want to clear the selection in every layer.

Anyone know the answer?

Have you tried looping through your layers in your dataframe?

for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df):   SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr,"CLEAR_SELECTION")

That should take each layer in your dataframe and clear any selected features.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Thanks,

It works, but it slows down my script a lot since I have 40 layers in my mxd.

I was just surprised I couldn't find anything, since there is a button that clears everything.

there is a button that clears everything.

That is available through ArcObjects, not arcpy.

But is there anyway to achieve the same in arcpy?

Yes... Christopher's answer.

Pro solution:

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
map = aprx.listMaps('Your Map')[0]
map.clearSelection()
