using arcgis pro .net sdk using python

[Khalid_Elejla]

Hello everyone

I am new to developing in arcgis pro and I mainly use arcpy library to automate some tasks, now I am facing some limitations in arcpy library and found that it could be done using .net sdk.

to be more specific I want to draw a new dimension feature inside my "dimension layer" using arcgis pro sdk

I only want to insert the coordinate of my feature and using the .net sdk to drow that feature in my layer so

1. how can I accomplish this task using arcgis pro sdk

2. how to use this add in or call this code using python

Hi,

You can call python script from ArcGIS Pro add-in. More info here:

https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/arcgis-add-ins-and-automation/arcgis-pro/tutorials/analy... 

I think there is no possibility to call add-in from python. From python you can call ArcGIS Pro CoreHost application.

How to create feature from ArcGIS Pro add-in you can find here:

If you create feature using feature layer, it will be automatically shown on map.

Thanks a lot your answer was really helpful, but it took me some time to be able to apply it successfully as I am still learning about SDK and C# that's why I am a bit late to reply.

Now I can do both:

*Calling python script using ArcGIS add-in thanks to you

*Calling ArcGIS or custom dll files and add-ins using python thanks to this link

the problem now in creating new features especially dimension features

to be more clear I have coordinates of the start and endpoint of this dimension feature all I want is to draw that feature, I have tried several approaches but failed, is there a simpler example that can demonstrate how it is done?

Hi,

You can draw some features on map using AddOverlayAsync method . Sample is here:

Hope it helps to create dimension features.
