Table Frames in ArcGIS Pro layout

AnsgarG — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 05:39:27 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new Table Frame or update the existing one. For the caseof creating a Table Frame using CIM the project immideatly shuts down. I tried the following code:

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current") lyt = p.listLayouts("Layout")[0] lyt_cim = lyt.getDefinition("V3") tf = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName("CIMTableFrame", "V3") tf.anchor = "BottomRightCorner" lyt_cim.elements.append(tf) lyt.setDefinition(lyt_cim)

For Updating the existing Table Frame i tried to set the table as fields like following code:

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("current") m = p.listMaps("Map")[0] table = m.addDataFromPath(r"path") lyt = p.listLayouts("Layout")[0] lyt_cim = lyt.getDefinition("V3") for elm in lyt_cim.elements: if elm == "Table Frame": elm.fields = table lyt.setDefinition(lyt_cim)

Any ideas why this isnt working?

Was your example derived from

ArcGIS Pro 2.5 CIM Samples V1 - Overview

in the section for modifying tableframe objects? or was it examples in the cim folder, for example...

C:\...install path ...\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\cim\CIMLayout.py

I derived it, or rather i tried the same approach they have shown with their samples.

Is it maybe because of missing table frame commands for the CIM Table Frame variable?

But which of these i have to set?
CIMTableFrame Class Properties
