topic Make calls to python add-in tools from c# performing actions within the context of the open mxd in Developers Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/make-calls-to-python-add-in-tools-from-c/m-p/86055#M521 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have written a python add-in that performs a series of custom actions including selecting and zooming to features in given layers. I now need to call the same tools from a c# add-in. The only discussion that i've managed to find proposes a solution that envokes a separate instance of python and then runs the python module behind the python add-in. However, this won't work since I need the calls to the python tools to do stuff with the features in the mxd that's open in arcmap, such as select and zoom. So how do I call the tools to execute in the context of the currently open mxd from c#?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 01 Jun 2017 16:34:25 GMT DarrenSmith 2017-06-01T16:34:25Z Make calls to python add-in tools from c# performing actions within the context of the open mxd https://community.esri.com/t5/developers-questions/make-calls-to-python-add-in-tools-from-c/m-p/86055#M521 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have written a python add-in that performs a series of custom actions including selecting and zooming to features in given layers.
