Get Active Layout in ArcGIS Pro 2.0

TylerLovejoy — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 02:43:30 GMT

What is the best way to get the current layout in arc gis pro 2.0? I know you can do MapView.Active to get the active Map, and that you can get layouts by name, but what if there is 3 or 4 layouts open and you just want the one the user is actively looking at?

I was unable to find a way to do this in the prosnippets or sdk, but I assume I am missing something

Hi,

This will be possible in Pro 2.1.

Thanks

I'm not seeing it in ArcGIS Pro 2.1. Has it been implemented?

My apologies. I commented in the wrong forum. I was looking for python arcpy.mp code

Has this been added yet? I am searching in vain for a way to get a reference to the active layout.
