@Jimmy_Simpson I did see your code and support may have given you that information because I provided it to them.  It works for me.  I don't know of another work around. Jeff ... View more

This issue has been addressed and we hope to include it in a 3.0 patch (targeting 3.0.4).  I was able to use the following as a work around to force a refresh. Layout lyt = LayoutView.Active.Layout; await QueuedTask.Run(() => { Element elm = lyt.FindElement("Picture"); var pic = elm as PictureElement; var pic_URL = pic.SourcePath; string imagePathNew = @"C:\Active\Layout\SDK\BUGS\BUG-000151182\sample.png"; pic.SetSourcePath(imagePathNew); //Force layout refresh var lyt_cim = lyt.GetDefinition(); lyt.SetDefinition(lyt_cim); });     Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams. ...

@taylor can you please provide more information.  Can I see more of the script?  Are you running it from a script tool, the Python Window? I can NOT reproduce your scenario, I'll need more information. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

Bahram-Jomehzadeh WOW, how did you get that release?  We are currently developing 3.1, 3.0 should be the current release.  We won't change the status of this idea to "implemented" until 3.1 is released. Jeff - layout and arcpy.mp teams. ... View more

This won't be addressed for arcpy.mapping (ArcMap) but we do plan to add it to arcpy.mp (Pro). Time for stand-alone tables was just made available at 3.0.  We hope to make it available in the near term.  Adding members similar to Layer like isTimeEnabled and enableTime() makes good sense.

I realize this is an old request.  Can you please clarify the workflow and provide example of what you are trying to do?  We won't make new arcpy.mapping changes to ArcMap but if this is still a requirement for ArcGIS Pro, please provide more detail. Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout teams ... View more

This is something we implemented for ArcGIS Pro 3.1.   Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

I realize this is really old so I'm going to close it.  This is something we can't address with Python in ArcGIS Pro since Addins are not supported.  A tool like this could be built using the .Net SDK. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

This is something we plan to implement.  Hopefully for  ArcGIS Pro 3.1 Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

Hello Bob, I know this is an old post and you may have discovered the solution by now. arcpy.mp Map.exportToMAPX() has been available for a while now.  We don't have API calls to update the internals of a MAPX or PAGX but you can use ArcGISProject.importDocument(), make the changes using the API and then export back to the same MAPX or PAGX. I hope this helps, Jeff - layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

This is planned for Pro 3.1.  We have a new ArcGISProject.createMap() function.   Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

This is something we definitely want to address but it will take time.  Arcpy.mp has definitely grown beyond the capabilities of arcpy.mapping (for ArcMap).  At 3.1 we are adding some content management operations like ArcGISProject.createMap(), ArcGISProject.deleteItem() /  ArcGISProject.copyItem() - for maps, layouts, and reports, and ArcGISProject.updateFolderConnections(). We didn't add createLayout because there is no point in creating a layout when we also can't create all the possible layout elements.  It will come in time.  At least with Pro 3.1 you'll be able to copy and existing layout and make modifications.  Currently, you can also export a layout to PAGX and import it to essentially make a copy.

There are no plans to implement a toolbox tool to generate bookmarks from features BUT we do plan on expanding the arcpy.mp API to allow you to create and update bookmarks using Python.  Will this be an acceptable alternative? Caution - I would be concerned with creating bookmarks from feature extents if there are a large number of features, 100's, 1000's or even more.   Our goal is to implement a near term arcpy.mp alternative (currenting planning for Pro 3.2) ...

Setting the page size in arcpy.mapping (for ArcMap layouts) will not be implemented.  It is implemented as part of arcpy.mp in ArcGIS Pro.  The Layout Object has a pageUnits, pageHeight, and pageWidth properties. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/layout-class.htm Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ...
