I'm attempting to convert MXDs to APRXs using the MXD filenames in a stand alone script. I'm basically using this code from a prior post: How to assign name to map layer in APRX when importing from MXD? I have a test folder with six MXDs in it. The script gets as far as beginning to loop through the folder but then throws an OSError on the first MXD. The error is pointing towards the importDocument line (line 14 below). import arcpy #List MXDs in workspaceMXD workspaceMXD = r "C:\GISmaps\AtlasMaps\ATLAS_MAPS_20\TestFolder" arcpy . env . workspace = workspaceMXD arcpy . env . overwriteOutput = True mxdlist = arcpy .

If I import one MXD at a time and save it as an APRX as seen in the code sample on the the ArcGISProject page, it works fine. But, I'm working with multiple MXDs. Does anyone know what this error is referring to?

I know you set the workspace and split the mxd name from the path apparently,

but it may want the fully qualified path and mxd name

document_path

also, try skipping the layout thing, True is the default anyway

importDocument (document_path, {include_layout}, {reuse_existing_maps})

It seems a lot of things in the mp don't support many if any "Environments" as is commonly found in other arcpy classes, methods etc.

Full path specification seems to be the standard, and hence importDocument needs full paths.

ArcGISProject—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop the project itself doesn't list any supported Environments at the bottom of the help topic.

"Current" seems to be the only project that allows for simplification of file paths/data sources.

Try giving the saveACopy a full path, file name and extension and see what it does.

I had to feed in a full path along with the new name and file extension for mxd.saveACopy() in one of my scripts. Hopefully this is the same for aprx.saveACopy() and it starts working as intended.

Below is an example:

aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>saveACopy<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">"C:\GISmaps\AtlasMaps\ATLAS_MAPS_20\TestFolder\Documents_New_Name.aprx"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Oops, I forgot to add the fullpath variable to the importDocument function. So, I did that just now and it worked:

aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>importDocument<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>fullpath<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

The problem is now it's saving all the maps in one project instead of 6 individual ones? I put aprx.saveACopy in the for loop and I left it out of the for loop, but same difference?

JaredPilbeam2

Dan,

I set it up with the full path and did not include the Layout parameter, but it's giving me the same error.
