Add VTPK To Map via 'arcpy'

WilliamCraft — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 22:42:15 GMT

Does anyone know how to add a vector tile package (VTPK) to a map using 'arcpy'? I have tried a variety of different syntaxes but my Python code always errors out whether I use the 'addLayer' method or 'addDataFromPath' method.

I have about 500+ VTPK files that I need to 'merge' together and what I'm thinking of doing is creating a mobile map package (MMPK) once I can get them added to a map in an automated way.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It helps to provide both code and errors. I thought I had used addDataFromPath with VTPK in the past, so I tested it again and it works fine for me.

Thank you for responding. After playing with the code some more, this ended up working for me:

import arcpy, os outputLocation = r"C:\TEMP" aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(outputLocation + "/VTPK.aprx") m = aprx.listMaps("VTPK")[0] basemap = m.listLayers("Basemap")[0] for filename in os.listdir(outputLocation): if filename.endswith(".vtpk"): lyr = m.addDataFromPath(outputLocation + "/" + filename) m.addLayerToGroup(basemap, lyr) aprx.save() continue else: continue
