Hello, The ability to export from ModelBuilder to a Python script was removed from ArcGIS Pro 1.1 because it did not match user expectations to provide a one-to-one export of your model to Python. The scripts generated by exported models were missing nested sub-models, and did not include iterators, feedback loops, and in-line variable substitution. Models with these components would require major changes that most people who use Export are not able to make themselves. There is currently no plan to add this capability back into ArcGIS Pro. ModelBuilder export to Python was often used by those who wanted to learn the Python syntax for a geoprocessing tool, or who wanted a Python script that could execute their existing workflow of geoprocessing tools. Others wanted a Python script so the workflow could be run through Windows Task Scheduler. You can use these alternatives to accomplish these goals: Start by building and saving a model, then create a new Python script file (which is just a text file with .py extension), then using a text editor or Python IDE add lines to the new script to import arcpy, import the toolbox containing your model, and finally run the model. Now when you run the Python script (double click the .py file from Windows explorer, or execute it from Task Scheduler) it is actually running your model. import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:\pathtotbx\Toolbox.tbx", "mytools") arcpy.MyModel_mytools(r"c:\modelinputs\Data.gdb\InputFeatures") In ArcGIS Pro you can copy the Python syntax for any geoprocessing tool you have run. Go to Project>Geoprocessing History, right-click any tool, and select Copy Python Command to copy the exact Python syntax needed to run the geoprocessing tool with the same parameter settings previously used. ...
