We plan to release this capability in Pro 3.2: sps = Layout.createSpatialMapSeries() bmk = Layout.createBookmarkMapSeries() CreateSpatialMapSeries will return the MapSeries object and createBookmarkMapSeries will return a new BookmarkMapSeries class. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

At Pro 3.2, we've introduced a number of new classes.  Relevant to this issue is we: 1) Have a new BookmarkMapSeries Class with its own members.  If a layout has a BMS, it will return that object instead of None. 2) We also have the ability to automate the creation of SpatialMapSeries and BookmarkMapSeries. 3) Finally, we also had the ability to create layouts and most of the layout elements (map frames, graphics, etc)   Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ...

@saraswathiemani2 we are introducing the following at 3.2.  ArcGISProject functions can create elements on a layout OR a graphics layer in a map. ArcGISProject.createLayout() Layout.createMapFrame() Layout.createMapSurroundElement() ArcGISProject.createGraphicElement() ArcGISProject.createGroupElement() ArcGISProject.createPictureElement() ArcGISProject.createPreDefinedGraphicElement() ArcGISProject.createTextElement() ...

@LindsaySpencer @Chris_976 @MikkelSkielboe Thanks for your feedback. We implemented a number of additional properties and methods concerning bookmarks for Pro 3.2.  Here is what we have so far. •Bookmarks • MapView.createBookmark({name}, {desc})) • MapFrame.createBookmark({name}, {desc})) • description – r/w; String • Map.copyBookmark(bookmark, {name}) • Map.exportBookmarks(out_bkmx) • Map.importBookmarks(bkmx_path) • Map.removeBookmark(remove_bookmark) ...

@AndreasB V2 is intended for Pro 2x but will continue to work in 3x.  If they both don't work they way you are expecting then nothing was changed in the 2x CIM vs 3x.  I would need to see more of your code to understand what is not working. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

I may have the project to reproduce your issue. Lets set up call.  Contact me at jbarrette@esri.com.  ... View more

You have every right to be frustrated!  I wonder if I couldn't reproduce the issue was because I didn't use a project that may have gone through multiple changes over time / releases.  I'm querying our developers to determine if OLD images reappearing has to do with the switch to binary reference (for pictures).  Your latest, detailed synopsis is really helpful!

@Jimmy_Simpson I'm so sorry to hear your frustration!  I'm moving back to 3.1 final and will try to reproduce the situation.   Jeff = layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

Hello,   I see in your code you are creating a MapSeries object via the CIM but I don't see how you are using the map series object to drive extents.  You are exporting a layout, not a map series.  If a MapSeries object is in place you can use the pageRow.FieldName (used to define the map series pages) syntax to return the page name.  Here is a very simplified example. p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') lyt = p.listLayouts('*MS')[0] ms = lyt.mapSeries for pageNum in range(1, ms.pageCount + 1): ms.currentPageNumber = pageNum print(ms.pageRow.Name)   ...

Mary, Are you sure the MapView (that you can see the graphics tools) AND the MapFrame are both referencing the same Map? A Map is a collection of layers and a spatial reference, etc.  To view a map, you open a map view OR you add a map frame that references the map.  When in a layout view, you won't see Map commands unless you active a map frame.  Activating a MapFrame makes it behave like a MapView (within a layout). If you are doing everything correctly and you still don't see the tools you want, then open an issue with Support.  I can't reproduce your issue so they will need your data/steps. Jeff ... View more

Ah, but are you activating the Map Frame on the layout?  The Map Graphics below to the Map.  When you activate the Map Frame, you should see the Map tools available. Jeff ... View more

Hello Mary, I'm able to see the select tools after activating a MapFrame on a Layout. I could be misunderstanding you. Jeff   ... View more
