@ted , @AndyRitchie Would Element.applyStyle(style_Item) to an existing element be sufficient?  Exposing the entire symbology model to arcpy.mp would be a very large undertaking and changing the color of a border line symbol can be done via Python CIM access. At 3.2 we've added a number of Layout/Map element constructor methods. (e.g.,ArcGISProject.createGraphicElement(), or Layout.createMapFrame() ).  The methods include an optional { style_item} parameter that gets associated with the element when created. To help with apply style items during creation, at 3.2 we added ArcGISProject.listStyleItems(). At 3.3 we plan to allow users to automate adding styles to a project.   Thanks, Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

@fireapple Python CIM access is not available to arcpy.mapping (for ArcMap).  ArcGIS Pro projects and document settings use the CIM specification for persistance where MXDs do not.  Jeff - arcpy.mp and Layout teams ... View more

We have near term plans to help with applying existing symbology to other existing objects.  We will take your scenario into consideration when designing a workflow and may post some follow-up questions as we get closer to development. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams  ... View more

Map.openView() was what needed. ... View more

@nadja Have you tried: Map.openView()?  It opens a view for the map objects AND activates it.  This works for Layout and Reports too. We also have ArcGISProject.closeViews() Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

This is something that can be done using Python CIM Access.  p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') m = p.listMaps()[0] l = m.listLayers('Cities')[0] l_cim = l.getDefinition('V3') #Get the layer's CIM definition l_cim.featureTable.editable = False #Modify the editable state l.setDefinition(l_cim) #Push the CIM changes back to the layer ...

At Pro 3.2 we've added the ability to reference existing styles via the ArcGISProject.listStyleItems() method.  Post 3.2, and hopefully Pro 3.3, we plan to add the capability to add styles to a project like we did with folder connections and databases.

I'm going to close this issue.  I think there is a very simple solution using arcpy.mp.  I've made slight changes to the second code snippet from the MapSeries Class help topic: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/mapseries-class.htm So it iterates through each map series page and instead of exporting to PNG, it copies a layout and names it based on the map series name. import arcpy, os p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\temp\GreatLakes\GreatLakes.aprx") l = p.listLayouts('*_MS*')[0] if not l.mapSeries is None: ms = l.mapSeries if ms.enabled: for pageNum in range(1, ms.pageCount + 1): ms.currentPageNumber = pageNum pageName = ms.pageRow.NAME print(f"Copying {pageName} to new layout") p.copyItem(l, pageName) p.saveACopy(r"C:\temp\GreatLakes\GreatLakes_MSPages2Layouts.aprx") os.startfile(r"C:\temp\GreatLakes\GreatLakes_MSPages2Layouts.aprx")   ...

This is an older issue and I'm not seeing any new traffic so I assume that AddDataFromPath addresses the issue. ... View more

This will be available at Pro 3.2.  You will have the ability to create new Layouts and layout elements including graphic elements.  The functions will be ArcGISProject.createGraphicElement() and ArcGISProject.createPredefinedGraphicElement(). They on the ArcGISProject object because you can create graphic elements on a layout OR in a map's graphics layer. In addition to the constructors, we also will expose a get/SetDefinition on layout elements.  This makes it much easier to get to many more properties including symbology.  Post 3.2 we hope to add additional symbology constructors that make setting symbology more streamlined w/o having to use the CIM.   Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ...

This will be available at Pro 3.2.  You will have the ability to create new Layouts and layout elements including picture elements.  The function will be ArcGISProject.createPictureElement().  Its on the ArcGISProject object because you can create picture elements on a layout OR in a map's graphics layer.
