Setting GraduatedSymbolsSymbology.classBreakValues with joined fields by ArcPy

ChristophEffing — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 15:57:03 GMT

Hi,

I tried to set breakvalues and breaklabels on a graduatedsymbol-layer. When the layer
has no join it works fine, but I need to join a SDE table in order to classify one field of the
joined table. Even if I take a field of the non-joined part of the table (e.g. AREA_HA) the script
gets an RuneTime-Error. Within the desktop application it works fine as well ...

Any ideas are welcome!

Best regards from Berlin,

Christoph

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"MJoin.mxd")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layer")[0]
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "AGHWahlkreise", df)[0]
lyrFile = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"MJoin.lyr")
arcpy.mapping.UpdateLayer(df, lyr, lyrFile, True)
if lyr.symbologyType == "GRADUATED_COLORS":
  lyr.symbology.valueField = "AGHWahlkreise.AREA_HA"
  lyr.symbology.classBreakValues = [169.0, 503.0, 885.0, 1475.0, 2544.0, 4912.0]

arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r"MJoin.pdf")
del mxd, lyrFile
