Arcpy or the ArcGIS Python API?</P><P>If you are referring to arcpy, you will need to <A href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_select-and-activate-an-environment" target="_self">set the Python interpreter in VSCode</A> to the one that is installed alongside ArcGIS Pro. The default location of this interpreter is:&nbsp;"C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\python.exe"</P><P>If you are referring to the Python API, you can either follow the steps above, or install the Python API in existing Python installation by following the steps outlined in <A href="https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/install-and-set-up/" target="_self">this documentation</A>. After doing so, follow the steps in the first link to set this Python environment in VSCode.</P><P>Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.</P><P>Josh</P> Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:20:43 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/quot-link-visual-studio-code-with-arcgis-10-6-1/m-p/1070915#M2672 GeoJosh 2021-06-22T12:20:43Z
