However, now I need to convert the notebook into a python script and it is not working. When I run the script I get no errors at all but the shapefiles won't show up on the selected map.</P><P>Here's how my code looks like:</P><BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><DIV><SPAN>project = &lt;project_path&gt;</SPAN></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><SPAN>aprx</SPAN> <SPAN>=</SPAN> <SPAN>arcpy</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><SPAN>mp</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><SPAN>ArcGISProject</SPAN><SPAN>(</SPAN><SPAN>project</SPAN><SPAN>)</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>map</SPAN> <SPAN>=</SPAN> <SPAN>aprx</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><SPAN>listMaps</SPAN><SPAN>(</SPAN><SPAN>map_name</SPAN><SPAN>) [</SPAN><SPAN>0</SPAN><SPAN>]</SPAN></DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV><SPAN>shape =&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>os</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><SPAN>path</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN><SPAN>join</SPAN><SPAN>(</SPAN><SPAN>out_path</SPAN><SPAN>, </SPAN><SPAN>out_name_pto</SPAN><SPAN>)</SPAN></DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><SPAN>map</SPAN><SPAN>.addDataFromPath(shape</SPAN><SPAN>)</SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><SPAN>I have also tried the&nbsp;</SPAN><STRONG><SPAN>arcpy</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN></STRONG><SPAN><STRONG>MakeFeatureLayer_management</STRONG> function, but it still did not work.</SPAN></DIV><DIV><SPAN>I have been working with the project opened, but I need a way to may the shapefiles to be added whether to the current project or to another project.
