Hi Xander,

Yes I've raised a support call with ESRI so we'll see what they say.

Interesting that you made it work with that smaller snippet. I'll try run the snippet too.

It must be something elsewhere in the script... Maybe it only works on Current layouts? Maybe it doesn't work with Map Series? That must be a glitch then...

I'm going to need to run the code outside of ArcGIS Pro, referencing a named layout and a named .aprx file. Whilst using map series.

TheodoreF

The issue remains even when using ExportToPNG, ExportToTIFF etc.

XanderBakker

I just took a simplified part of your code (leaving out the map series) and ran that against a project I have:

p <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ArcGISProject<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"CURRENT"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
l <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> p<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>listLayouts<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">0</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
l<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>exportToJPEG<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>r<SPAN class="string token">"C:\GeoNet\test500.jpg"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="number token">500</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

The result came out correctly with 500 dpi and is exactly the same as a manual export at 500 dpi. Makes me wonder if this might be data related or something to do with the map series you configured.

I am running 2.2.1. There is an update (2.2.2) coming out today (?) with a list of fixes

Release notes for ArcGIS Pro 2.2—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

... but I don't see anything related to the issue you are encountering.

Might be good to contact Esri Support and work through this issue directly with them.

DanPatterson_Retired

since they all support an output resolution, have you tried another format (eg png) to see if the resolution of the layout works?
