I had a successful script that was working great. I did some rearranging and polish on the map now I get no layers on my PNG except PNG. The Base Layer is there the text boxes update just fine. So I stopped the loop and the export and just ran it to the save and the map is updated just fine and when I open it in Arcmap everything is updated correctly. its only when i got to export via Python I get just a base layer, text boxes and pictures no layers. Has anyone ran into something similar or have any insight.
for step in hourdriver:
for lyr2 in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"CR"):
lyr2.definitionQuery = coronerquery+"".join(str(step))
print lyr2.definitionQuery # added for diag
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd,"TA"):
lyr.definitionQuery = trafficquery+"".join(str(step))
print lyr.definitionQuery # added for diag
for elm in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd, "TEXT_ELEMENT"):
if elm.name == "TIME_DESC":
print "Found it"
elm.text = timelist[step]
print elm.text
filename = outputfolder+"".join(str(step))+""".png"""
print filename
mxd.save()
arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG(mxd,filename)
Lyr and Lyr2 both update on the map and save but but do not show up in the PNG....
As i write this i was thinking that both layers are coming from the same SQL server could there be a hang up there?
Thank you in advance for your time.
