Dan,  In the table of contents, for the layout can you toggle on/off and have it reflected in the Legend Properties? The only difference I noticed in you images was that it said [multiple items] which makes me think that "whatever" .. has to do with the fact that something is applying to multiple items.  Is this a complex legend?  Just a project from 2.4 or prior?  I would check within the table of contents and see if the participating featureclass layers have something applied to them ...

It depends where you are running your script from.  If you are doing it within an open session of arcmap or Pro, then it should work. If you are trying to run it disconnected, then you would be advised to make the joins permanent by saving to a new table so that you get field names that are permanent. ... View more

booleans shouldn't be enclosed in quotes ...  True ... by itself.  If it requires a string, it should be stated as such and would definitely be an error in the documentation. ( True != "true" != "True" ) ... View more

Yes, but the the alternative to arcpy in the python api is shapely, which can't do it either. Wrappers around arcobjects certainly haven't been developed for everything yet, I will give you that. ... View more

bottom middle, the long line should be removed even though it is a perpendicular. What you really need is a medial axis (aka, skeleton of your shape in question.  You use that polyline which would be between the other two lines, to shoot your perpendiculars from, one set towards the outer line and one set towards the inner.  In the first instance, you could approximate this from doing a Delaunay triangulation of the shape and connect the barycenters of the triangles to form the skeleton.  Of course, the triangulation within the hole needs to be removes as do any triangles on the outer shell that have no left neighbors (those are part of the convex hull and can be removed. ...
