Plotting shapefiles from gdb to an aprx file

Hello

I am working on a script and I am stuck at the stage of plotting the shapefiles from gdb's to an existing 2 different aprx files.

I need to run the code from Pyscripter not from the ArcGIS Pro directly as there will be 2 aprx files.

Thanks!

I didn't test this, but this is the general idea:

shapefile_path = r"C:\PATH\Shapefile.shp" aprx_list = [r"C:\PATH\First.aprx", r"C:\PATH\Second.aprx"] import arcpy for aprx_path in aprx_list: p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(aprx_path) m = p.listMaps()[0] # assumes data to be added to first map listed m.addDataFromPath(shapefile_path)‍‍‍‍‍ p.save()
