Cells succesfully running in Notebook but actions not visible in the ArcGIS Pro Layout

Sahaja — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 07:57:53 GMT

I have been trying to automate the map production in ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1

There is a point in the production where it has to turn on and off some of the elements in the layout and I figured how to do it as well.

this is the code I'm using:

am_lyt=lyt.listElements(wildcard="Name_of_the_table")[0]
print(am_lyt.visible)
am_lyt.visible=True
print(am_lyt.visible)

This gives the result:

False
True

But the table is not turning on and there's no error either. Surpisingly, when I executed the below code, I could see the action on the layout, its just the visibility not working

mf.camera.setExtent(mf.getLayerExtent(sitelyr, False, True))
print ("x")

I tried using the CIM:

cim_lyt=lyt.getCIM()

but this line of code is not executing, so I tried the below:

cim_lyt=lyt.getDefinition('V2')

Sadly getDefinition kept giving me it has to attribute error.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Hmmm... This code works for me. No matter if the layout is opened or not, no matter the element (eg north arrow works too), and no matter whether I execute in a notebook or in the Python Window.

lyt = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current").listLayouts()[0] print(f"Layout name: {lyt.name}") e = lyt.listElements(wildcard="Table Frame")[0] print(f"Element name: {e.name}") print(f"{e.name} is visible: {e.visible}") e.visible = not e.visible print(f"{e.name} is visible: {e.visible}") cim = lyt.getDefinition("V2") print(f"CIM: {cim}")

Element name: Table Frame
Table Frame is visible: False
Table Frame is visible: True
CIM: <arcpy.cim.CIMLayout.CIMLayout object at 0x00000265A2EA4CC8>

Are you sure you're manipulating the correct layout?

Can you share the whole code?

Thank you for waiting. I believe I'm manipulating the correct layout. Here's the code:

import arcpy import pandas as pd import os abspath=os.path.abspath abspath=os.path.abspath("__file__") dname=os.path.dirname(abspath) os.chdir(dname) ProjectFolder=dname print(dname) arcpy.env.workspace=ProjectFolder project=ProjectFolder +"\ContamCertificates.aprx" aprx=arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(project) mapName= "Map" layoutName="CTXX" site= "siteboundary" m=aprx.listMaps(mapName)[0] sitelyr=m.listLayers(site)[0] lyt=aprx.listLayouts(layoutName)[0] mf = lyt.listElements("mapframe_element", "Map")[0] mf.camera.setExtent(mf.getLayerExtent(sitelyr, False, True)) print ("x") arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current = "NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current" siteboundary = "siteboundary" # Process: Select Layer By Location (Select Layer By Location) (management) NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current, Output_Layer_Names, Count = arcpy.management.SelectLayerByLocation(in_layer=[NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current], overlap_type="INTERSECT", select_features=siteboundary, search_distance="500 Meters", selection_type="NEW_SELECTION", invert_spatial_relationship="NOT_INVERT") print (arcpy.GetCount_management(NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current)) if arcpy.GetCount_management(NSW_CLR_STATUS_IN_Current) != 0: print("the site is medium risk") #Results = lyt.listElements("GRAPHIC_ELEMENT", "Results")[0] #Print(results) rslt_within500=lyt.listElements("TEXT_ELEMENT", "Note_within_500m")[0] rslt_within500.visible=True print(rslt_within500.visible) am_lyt=lyt.listElements(wildcard="Name_of_the_table")[0] print (am_lyt.visible) am_lyt.visible=True print(am_lyt.visible) fn = ProjectFolder+"\ContaminationCertificate.pdf" lyt.exportToPDF(fn)

I tried your style

am_lyt.visible = not am_lyt.visible

This isn't working either.

Thank you for looking at this

Funny enough, I tried running the same code as a python script and the visibility feature works but not the zoom to the feature extents, in fact, it zooms out to the entire world with this line

mf.camera.setExtent(mf.getLayerExtent(sitelyr, False, True))
