I have two layers that point to the same feature source.
Both layers have around 25 classifications coming from the same field (store_type)
I want to combine the two layer definitions so I end up with a single layer that has all 50 symbols.
Is there an way to automatically combine them?
Copy and paste the lyrx files?
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
For those who are interested, there is a great tool for just this issue:
"Apply Symbology from Layer"
This allows you to take all the symbology (symbols, line types, etc) and apply it to an existing layer.
I solved this by taking my layer with 26 symbols (Input Layer) and merged with the 24 symbols (Symbology Layer).
The result is that I now have all 50 symbols in my Layer all themed to the column I chose.
bring them into a map and
Merge (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation
then save the result to a new lyrx
The data is technically already 'merged'. Its a single feature source.
Two separate Layers that point to that one single feature source (stores).
Each are themed 24 icons for one, 26 icons for the other. (field: store_type)
I need a single layer with 50 icons without the hassle of recreating all the icons based on store_type.
Basically I need a layer merge (lyrx), not a data merge.

Glad you found a method that worked, another option is to use the "Match Layer Symbology to a Style" https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/match-layer-symbology-to-a-s...
