Hi there,
I have an old 2.9.x code version script: below that used to reference the 'grids' element within the CIMGraphicElement Family,
However I have come to discover this variable may no longer exist in ArcGIS Pro 3?
As the is no option to directly change the grid reference of a layout from arcpy you must do it with the CIM.
The Code Snippet is below imports a layout into a pro session and does it maths calculations prior to this stage
However with the version change, Im a bit stumped as to what to fix in order to get this working,
# Import the Layout into the current project and update it
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
aprx.importDocument(pagx_in)
layout = aprx.listLayouts(out_Template)[0]
arcpy.AddMessage("Imported template:" + layout.name)
mf = layout.listElements('MAPFRAME_ELEMENT','Main')[0]# Return the main map frame element. This needs to be named 'Main' in the template/pagx
m = mf.map # the map view referenced by the user chosen layout (FFT Main).
extent = mf.camera.getExtent() #get dataframe extent. This will be in whatever coordinate system the
arcpy.AddMessage("Got extent: " + str(extent))
mf.map.spatialReference = sr
mf.spatialReference = sr
proj = "UTM " + UTM_zone + UTM_letter
gps = "UTM UPS"
datum = "WGS84"
arcpy.AddMessage("Dataframe set to: " + mf.spatialReference.name)
# Update the UTM MGRS Grid. This is done through updating the CIM Definition as no arcpy method exists.
layout_CIM = layout.getDefinition("V3")# Get the CIM Definition of the layout
mf_CIM = layout_CIM.elements[0]
mf_CIM.grids[0].projectedCoordinateSystem.get("wkid") #Get the coordinate system of the UTM MGRS grid
mf_CIM.grids[0].projectedCoordinateSystem['wkid'] = srNum # set to updated coordinate system
mf_CIM.grids[0].projectedCoordinateSystem['latestWkid'] = srNum # set to updated coordinate system
layout.setDefinition(layout_CIM) #set the updated CIM definition
I keep getting:
line 1538, in <module>
wkid = mf_CIM.grids[0].projectedCoordinateSystem.get("wkid")
AttributeError: 'CIMGraphicElement' object has no attribute 'grids' Is anyone able to provide some advice on migrating this to work with the ArcGIS Pro 3 CIM environment?
