I personally have not tried it. All I know is that your overlays are not persisted and to persist the geometries you need a feature class.  This is also the same in the UI.  The development team is aware of the current limitation and is looking into a solution.  If you just need a temporarly feature class, my approach would be to create a scratch feature class in the projects default GDB, add whatever geometries are needed, export, and then perhaps delete the feature class. ...

Adding MapNotes like in the UI may be a bit heavy handed because it builds many point, line and polygon feature classes.  It might be best if you create/reference your own feature class and add the geometries.  Check out the Geodatabase and Geometry ProSnippets. ... View more

Hello and thank you for your feedback. Overlays are not persisted and in order for items to be exported they must be persisted.  The solution is to create elements in a feature class.  This is the same solution in the UI. MapNote (feature classes) are used in in place of graphics in a map view. Jeff ... View more

The original request to be able to import a pagx without the view opening in the application has been addressed in Pro 2.3 by adding an additional Boolean to the ImportItem method. IProjectMultiItem pagx = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(@"C:\Active\Layout\SDK\2.3\ImportItemTest.pagx") as IProjectMultiItem; await QueuedTask.Run(() => {     Project.Current.ImportItem(pagx, false); //Layout view does NOT open (but is added to catalog pane)     Project.Current.ImportItem(pagx, true); //Layout1 does open (and is added to catalog pane) }); Jeff ...

Hello Scott, We are looking at this issue for a possible 2.3 fix.  Could you please clarify "layout activated / drawing complete".  There are two scenarios 1) A layout it initialized - this is when a layout is opened for the first time and drawing is completed. 2) An already opened layout view (TAB) is activated. I assume you want to address #2 above. But what about 3) a scenario where you programatically add a layer to a map or you rearrange layer order or you rearrange elements in the TOC?  These will also force a redraw.  Do you want to know when the layout has stopped drawing here too?  Thanks, Jeff ...

This will be addressed with Pro 2.3.  The solution will be: LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("Layout")); Layout lyt = await QueuedTask.Run(() => {     return layoutItem.GetLayout(); }); lyt.ShowProperties(); ...

These events will be added for 2.3: ElementAdded, ElementRemoved, LayoutAdded. Thank you for bringing these events to our attention.\ Jeff ... View more

Oops - didn't realize I was replying to a second response from you (with the same work around). ... View more

Are the layout names hardcoded?  Can you search for a layout pane and close it? ProApp.Panes.CloseLayoutPanes(layout.URI); At 2.3 we are adding a new event called LayoutAddedEvent which could be useful in this case. Jeff ... View more

Thank you for your feedback.  We are looking into the request and are considering this for a future release. Jeff ... View more

Thank you for your feedback Tony!  We did add a couple of new events for Pro 2.2: LayoutRemoving and Layout PausedDrawingChanged but we will strongly consider the 3 events you request for a near term release. Jeff ... View more

This has been addressed for the ArcGIS Pro 2.2 release.  There is a r/o property called ActiveMapFrame on the LayoutView class. //ActiveMapFrame LayoutView lytView = LayoutView.Active; if (lytView == null) { System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("No LayoutView"); return; } MapFrame mf = lytView.ActiveMapFrame; if (mf == null) System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("No MapFrame"); else System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(mf.Name); ...

It can't be done with arcpy.mapping because we did not expose the same level of symbology detail in the ArcMap API. ... View more

This can be done with Python. Try pasting the following code into the Python window for ArcGIS Pro.  Make sure your indents are correct (line 6 has a 2 space indent and line 7 has a 4 space indent). p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') m = p.listMaps('map name here')[0] l = m.listLayers('layer name here')[0] sym = l.symbology for grp in sym.renderer.groups:   for itm in grp.items:     itm.label = itm.label.replace(","," - ") l.symbology = sym Jeff ...
