https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1075476#M42895 <P>The answer to my question appears to be, you cannot saveAs with ArcPy. So my follow up question is, why not? Will it be added in the future or is there some technical reason they don't want to?&nbsp;</P> Sun, 04 Jul 2021 13:19:49 GMT JeffThomasILM 2021-07-04T13:19:49Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1074198#M42740 <P>Is there a way to "save as" a project from ArcPy? I know there's "save" and "saveACopy" but not "saveAs". I'm trying to establish a workflow where I open a template project, customize it by running a script, then save it as a new project (and further customize it manually) without having to close the template and then open the copied project. I can "save as" manually, but not with ArcPy?</P> Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:15:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1074198#M42740 JeffThomasILM 2021-06-30T15:15:12Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1074212#M42742 <P><A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/arcgisproject-class.htm" target="_blank">ArcGISProject—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation</A></P><P>go with saveACopy&nbsp; which is what arcpy wants...</P> Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:24:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1074212#M42742 DanPatterson 2021-06-30T15:24:05Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1074220#M42745 <P>I understand I can use saveACopy, but that forces me to close my template (without saving!) and then open the new project to continue working.

I just designed my script without saveAs and moved on. Maybe it was added to ArcPy in the past 3 years, though your presence in this thread makes me think that's probably not the case!</P> Mon, 13 May 2024 20:13:53 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/project-saveas-using-arcpy/m-p/1460526#M83208 JeffThomasILM 2024-05-13T20:13:53Z
