Script Tool, Print Selected Features

aecho2 — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 18:39:32 GMT

Need help printing only selected features in a layer, currently have the following:

import arcpy #Set variables arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT') aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT') TCG4232_USNG_GRIDS = "P:/PROJECTS/RP_Quality_Control_cGIS/MapSalesArcProProject/MapSalesLive1211/MapSalesLive/Data/GRIDS/USNG_GRID_OH.gdb" Output_Folder = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) #list of layer names that you want to be turned off. p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("Current") m = p.listMaps("Map")[0] layer_names = ['TCG4232_USNG_GRIDS'] lyrList = m.listLayers() for lyr in lyrList: lyr.visible = True if lyr.name in layer_names: lyr.visible = False #Print to PDF try: aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT') l = aprx.listLayouts()[0] l.mapSeries.refresh() if l.mapSeries is not None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: ms = l.mapSeries indexLyr = "TCG4232_USNG_GRIDS" ms.exportToPDF(Output_Folder,"SELECTED", "", "PDF_SINGLE_FILE", 150, "FASTEST", True, "ADAPTIVE", True, "LAYERS_ONLY", True, 80, True, False) except Exception as e: print(f"Error: {e.args[0]}")

the lyr.visible turns the layer on/off only (either view all or none).

If you want to just display a subset of the data in a layer, you would put a definition query on the layer and have that layer as visible = True.

I Intended to turn off the layer, my print needs the layer off but I still need the region of the layer area to print.

I just need my print to target the "TCG4232_Grids" layer.
