@asmith_tssw - I need a reproducible case and it is so difficult to know what your script is doing and how it is interacting within the application.  For example, are you running script tool within the application or are you running a stand-alone script outside of the application?  Even if you could provide a bulleted list of the order of operations, that could be helpful.

@asmith_tssw could you share a small snippet of code that demonstrates what the script tool is doing? Thanks, Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout (SDK) teams ... View more

@DougBrowning are you working straight text? With straight text, regardless of alignment if you change the string to be something shorter, the text envelope that contains the text will be left aligned since that is the anchor point location.  If you change the anchor position to center and then modify the string, it should stay center aligned.   Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout (SDK) teams.  ...

Thank you for your feedback.  We hope to incorporate type hints into many more of our classes for the 3.5 release. Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout teams ... View more

@MohamedHassan17 , are you using applySymbologyFromLayer by chance?  If so, there are some alternative solutions.  If not, we would need a reproducible case. Jeff ... View more

@SamuelRomero2, I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly because this can be scripted using arcpy.mp. Please let us know if the following snippet isn't what you are looking for.   import os customPath = r'C:\Temp' p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') for lyt in p.listLayouts():     lyt.exportToPAGX(os.path.join(customPath, lyt.name)) Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ...

@MK13 Again, this is just a work around but have you tried something like ... import os p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') relpath = p.homeFolder m = p.listMaps('Map')[0] for l in m.listLayers():     if l.name == 'GreatLakes':         lyr1 = arcpy.mp.LayerFile(os.path.join(relpath, 'GreatLakes.lyrx')).listLayers('GreatLakes')[0]         l.symbology = lyr1.symbology         #Also copy label classes         l_cim = l.getDefinition('V3')         lyr1_cim = lyr1.getDefinition('V3')         l_cim.labelClasses = lyr1_cim.labelClasses         l.setDefinition(l_cim)         l.showLabels = True #Just in case they are not visible Jeff ...

@masa here is some sample code to at least create the ei_cim.symbol.  PointSymbol still needs to be defined if needed. Lines 6-26 below were added.  I also altered how I'm finding the locator map frame in the CIM elements list instead of hard coding an index number (line 38-40).   p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') lyt = p.listLayouts()[0] mf = lyt.listElements('MapFrame_Element', 'Main MF')[0] lyt_cim = lyt.getDefinition('V3') #Create Polygon Symbol with solid stroke outline and transparenent fill polyStrokeRGBColor = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMRGBColor', 'V3') polyStrokeRGBColor.values = [0, 0, 0, 100] polySymLyr1 = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMSolidStroke', 'V3') polySymLyr1.capStyle = "Round" polySymLyr1.joinStyle = "Round" polySymLyr1.width = 1 polySymLyr1.color = polyStrokeRGBColor polyFillRGBColor = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMRGBColor', 'V3') polyFillRGBColor.values = [0, 0, 0, 0] polySymLyr2 = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMSolidFill', 'V3') polySymLyr2.color = polyFillRGBColor polySym = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMPolygonSymbol', 'V3') polySym.symbolLayers = [polySymLyr1, polySymLyr2] polySymRef = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMSymbolReference', 'V3') polySymRef.symbol = polySym #Create Extent indicator ei_cim = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMExtentIndicator', 'V3') ei_cim.sourceMapFrame = mf.name ei_cim.extentIndicatorType = "Frame" ei_cim.isVisible = True ei_cim.name = "extent_indicator" ei_cim.symbol = polySymRef #ei_cim.pointSymbol = ptSymRef for elm in lyt_cim.elements: if elm.name == 'Locator MF': elm.extentIndicators.insert(0, ei_cim) #Set back to layer lyt.setDefinition(lyt_cim) Jeff ...

@masa I believe the issue is that you don't have ei_cim.symbol or ei_cim.pointSymbol defined.  It will require much more code to define these because multiple CIM classes are required to construct them from scratch.  This is a classic example of where the Layout or MapFrame objects could use a helper function to insert an extent indicator, especially now that new layouts can be created.  I would suggest adding an Esri Idea requesting this exact functionality.  If you are not creating a layout in your script, it may be a lot easier to modify an already existing extent indicator.

Thanks @MK13 for bringing this to my attention.  This is something we are looking into and need to coordinate with the core GP/arcpy team.  Here is a brief explanation and a couple of possible work-arounds. ApplySymbologyFromLayer is a core GP/arcpy method.  It runs on the GP thread which includes includes GP dialogs, models, and script tools.  The GP thread provides isolation so the application (main thread) can continue to run.  Arcpy.mp was designed to work with the application objects and also runs on the main thread.  When using a script tool, its important to hook the results back to the main thread and this can be done using the technique mentioned by @TanGnar above. import os p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') relpath = p.homeFolder lyr = arcpy.GetParameter(0) if lyr.name == ‘GreatLakes’:   lyrx = os.path.join(relpath, 'GreatLakes.lyrx’)   arcpy.management.ApplySymbologyFromLayer(lyr, lyrx) arcpy.SetParameter(1, lyr)   Another alternative is to use an all arcpy.mp solution where you "copy" the symbology using this technique. import os p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') relpath = p.homeFolder for lyr in p.listMaps(‘Map’).listLayers():   if lyr.name == ‘GreatLakes’:     lyrx = os.path.join(relpath, 'GreatLakes.lyrx’)     lyrx_lyr = lyrx.listLayers(‘GreatLakes’)[0]     lyr.symbology = lyrx_lyr.symbology And at Pro 3.4 we hope to introduce a new (feature) Layer.pasteProperties(source_layer, properties) method that allows you copy existing layer properties from a source layer where it defaults to all default properties OR you can specify keywords such as symbology, or definition queries, field aliases, or pop-ups, etc,   Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ...
