Thanks.  I guess they have not gotten around to changing the help topic yet. ... View more

You write one script with all of your folders needed and you will have them all automatedly created quickly with a single click or two.   ... View more

If you create a map template with that checked before hand, does it not keep that property? ... View more

I agree.  It's usually incorrect units when I come across this type of thing.   ... View more

Not that I can figure out.  When I run into situations like this in Pro I will use Tasks.  You can have the python script run but don't include the importDocument in a step, make a new step to Import Map (noting exactly how/where to get the map file), ect.  You can have each step run automatically one right after another.  Not ideal, but if you need a bit of handholding for those less familiar with the software it works great.  Also,  you might be able to do this with the Pro SDK within IProjectItem then AddItem.   ...

Use variables.   It's also a good practice to use Feature layers.     # Create Buffer Layer buff = arcpy.Buffer_analysis(Centroid_Map_XYTableToPoint, buffer, "200 kilometers") buffFeatureLayer = arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(buff, "buff_layer") print("Buffer Layer Created") # arcpy.management.SelectLayerByAttribute(in_layer_or_view, {selection_type}, {where_clause}, {invert_where_clause}) selectLayer = arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("Lakehead_Forest_Processing", "NEW_SELECTION", "FMU_NAME = 'Lakehead Forest' ") print("Layer Selected") # arcpy.analysis.Clip(in_features, clip_features, out_feature_class, {cluster_tolerance}) arcpy.analysis.Clip(selectLayer, buffFeatureLayer, "Clipped_Layer") print("clip successful")     ...

You could try using the os.     import os myfile = r"C:\Path\TestProject.aprx" os.system("start " + myfile) * After some testing this works better.  You could also probably use the subprocess Popen too? import os myfile = r"C:\Path\TestProject.aprx" os.startfile(myfile)   ... View more

I am frustrated with the same problem.  If my memory is correct in the old ArcMap it would ask you which field you want as the Unique Identifier, if you did not have one I think there was an option to have it create one.  If you don't have a field that has a unique identifier you need to create one in SQL studio first.  If you do happen to then from the Map tab select Add Data -> Query Layer.  Or drag and drop go to the Properties -> source tab -> click the pencil icon and specify the field you want as the unique identifier.   These are the only options I can find, which probably won't solve your problem as it doesn't solve mine.   Also if you go and publish the table it completely changes the attributes of the one it "chose" for you.  ESRI should not allow it to randomly change my attributes in an SQL file.  I feel your pain! ...
