Hi,
I have multiple layers in ArcMap that I want to import a symbology for from a layer file. The code I have is as follows:
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
# Reference current MXD and dataframe.
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]
layers = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"",df)
# Layer file symbology to be imported is in.
in_symbology_layer = arcpy.mapping.Layer("C:\LayerStyles\LayerFile.lyr")
# Layer to receive imported symbology.
in_layer = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df)[0]
# For loop to import symbology to all layers in current MXD.
for lyr in layers:
try:
arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(in_layer,in_symbology_layer)
except:
print "Failed to import symbology for: " +lyr.name
# Refreshes Table of Contents.
arcpy.RefreshTOC()The code seems to work in parts, as the output I get is:
"Failed to import symbology for: Layer1
"Failed to import symbology for: Layer2
"Failed to import symbology for: Layer3..."
For loops are my Achilles Heel so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
DK
