I want to change this information, with python: I have this code (got here: https://community.esri.com/thread/43148 ) , but it changes the layer name. I want to change layer label. It is a simple feature, with no unique values. import arcpy, os from arcpy import env  env.workspace = os.curdir   for mxdFile in arcpy.ListFiles("*.mxd"):      mxdPath = env.workspace + "\\" + mxdFile      mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxdPath)        layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd)                for lyr in layers:            if lyr.name == "old name":             lyr.name = "newname"     arcpy.RefreshTOC()     mxd.save()‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Hi, i have a simple problem and i think there is a simple solution, but i can find or create it. I have a lot of MXD (more than 200) and all of them use a polygon shapefile "study_area_v00.shp". In the data frame, its name is just "Study Area". Every time we change the boundary of the polygon, we save a new copy to "study_area_v01.shp" an so on. All the attributes in table is the same, nothing changes, but the boundary. Every time we open all the mxd and change the data source, one by one because none of pythons i found, work fine. This script works fine, and change all the layerfiles in all MXD in a folder. But there is a little detail in my case: my layer name in table of contents have a word with acccent (Área de Estudo) and the script doesnt recognize it. I translated all the script to all of you understand, but i'm from Brazil and we have a lot of words with accent, and the arcpy doesnt understand it. Can you help me? import arcpy, os inputPath = os.curdir outputPath = os.curdir #layerfile name we want to change, in table of contents layerfile = "Área de Estudo" #Folder path of the new shapefile FolderPath = r"T:\VALE SISTEMA SUL\PDE  TREVO\Geoprocessamento\1_Shapefile\Utm" #Name of the new shapefile, in folder path (without '.shp') NewShapefile = "AreasEstudo_PDETrevo_v00" #Loop through each MXD file for filename in os.listdir(inputPath):     fullpath = os.path.join(inputPath, filename)     if os.path.isfile(fullpath):         if filename.lower().endswith(".mxd"):             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(fullpath)              df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]              for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "*", df):                  if lyr.name == layerfile:                          print layerfile                         lyr.replaceDataSource(FolderPath, "SHAPEFILE_WORKSPACE", NewShapefile)              print fullpath              mxd.save() Message was edited by: Dan Patterson I have taken the liberty to format the post using Syntax highlighting found in the >> option Hope everything is as you posted. ...
