ArcGISProject

Zusammenfassung

The ArcGISProject object provides access to ArcGIS Pro project methods and properties. A reference to this object is essential for most map automation workflows.

Diskussion

The ArcGISProject object is usually one of the first object references created in a map automation script because it is the main entry point to access most other objects in ArcGIS Pro. A project is referenced using the ArcGISProject function. Its properties allow you to get or set project settings such as defaultGeodatabase, defaultToolbox, documentVersion, filePath and more. Its methods allow you to manage project items such as updateFolderConnections, updateDatabases, createMap, and createLayout, and copy or delete some project items using the copyItem or deleteItem methods, respectively.

The updateConnectionProperties method is useful for replacing data sources in a project. Data sources can be replaced on the ArcGISProject, Map, Layer, or Table object. See the Updating and fixing data sources help topic for more detailed information and code samples.

The importDocument method allows you to import map (.mxd), globe (.3dd), and scene (.sxd) documents into a project. This provides a mechanism for automating the conversion of these document types into the ArcGIS Pro project. The importDocument method also allows you to import map files (.mapx), layout files (.pagx), and report files (.rptx) into an existing project.

Once you have a reference to an ArcGISProject object, you can access other objects using a number of list functions. For example, you can access a Map object using the listMaps method or a Layout object and a Report object using the listLayouts and listReports methods, respectively.

The following diagram illustrates, along the left side, the use of list functions for navigating and referencing the objects in a project. The diagram is only an example and does not display a complete set of objects and list methods.

The diagram above, along the right side, also illustrates many of the create functions. For example you can use createMap to create a Map object or createLayout to create a Layout object.

Hinweis:

The createGraphicElement, createGroupElement, createPictureElement, and createTextElement methods are also available on the ArcGISProject object because they allow you to create the elements in either a Layout object or a graphics layer in a Map object.

Tipp:

When creating elements in a graphics layer in a map, graphic layers are limited to a set number of features and overall size. See Work with graphics layers for more information.

There are a few methods and properties that only work with scripts that are run in the application such as scripts run in the Python window, a notebook, or those associated with a script tool. These are activeMap and activeView properties and the closeViews() method. The activeMap property will return the Map object associated with either an active map view or the active map frame on an active layout view. If these conditions are not met, NoneType will be returned. The activeView property will return either a MapView object if a map view is active or a Layout object if a layout view is active. If no views are active, both properties will return None. These properties will always return a None value when a script is run outside the application, because views are only relevant when the application is open. The MapView object returned from the activeView property is the only way to change the extent associated with a map view. There are multiple functions available on the MapView class that allow you to change the extent, such as camera, panToExtent, ZoomToAllLayers, and ZoomToBookmarks. The closeViews function is useful for closing specific view types in the application. To give focus to a specific view, close all views and use the openView method on the Layout, Map, or Report class.

Hinweis:

Projects can be referenced multiple times but only the first reference can be saved directly because the other references will be opened as read-only. The ArcGISProject object has an isReadOnly property that can be used to determine a project's read state before calling a method such as saveACopy instead of save.

Eigenschaften

Eigenschaft	Erläuterung	Datentyp
activeMap (Schreibgeschützt)	Returns the map object associated with the focused view within the application. If a layout view is active, it will return the map associated with the active map frame. Hinweis: This property is designed to be run from within the application using a script tool, the Python window, or a Notebook. If a script is run outside of the application, a value of None will always be returned.	Map
activeView (Schreibgeschützt)	Returns a MapView or a Layout, depending on the current view. If the ArcGIS Pro project has no open views, or if the active view is something other than a map view or layout view (for example, a chart, table, Model Builder view, and so on), None will be returned. Hinweis: This property is designed to be run from within the application using a script tool or the Python window, or a Notebook. If a script is run outside of the application, a value of None will always be returned.	Object
databases (Schreibgeschützt)	Returns a list of Python dictionaries, each representing the properties for individual databases in a project. To modify the databases, see the updateDatabases method.	List
dateSaved (Schreibgeschützt)	Returns a Python datetime object that reports the project's last saved date.	DateTime
defaultGeodatabase (Lesen und schreiben)	The project's default geodatabase location. The string must include the geodatabase's full path and file name. Hinweis: This property can be locked by systems administrators through Application settings.	String
defaultToolbox (Lesen und schreiben)	The project's default toolbox location. The string must include the toolbox's full path and file name. Hinweis: This property can be locked by systems administrators through Application settings.	String

MAPS_AND_LAYOUTS—Close all open layout and map view panes. REPORTS—Close all open report view panes. (Der Standardwert ist MAPS_AND_LAYOUTS)	String

Sometimes it is useful to clean up numerous open views in the application before opening a specific view to see the resulting view with better focus. The method is limited to closing only view panes associated with a layout, map, or a report. This method will also close table views associated with a "MAP".

Hinweis:

This method is designed to be executed from within the application using a script tool, Notebook, or the Python window. It will have no effect if executed outside of the application.

If it is not valid, the database will not be added and the function will return the dictionary as an invalid database. If set to False, the method will add all the databases to the project, regardless of whether the database can be connected to. (Der Standardwert ist True)	Boolean

Rückgabewert

Datentyp	Erläuterung
List	A list of invalid databases.

To update a project's databases, you must set the entire list of databases at once. You cannot add, remove, or update a single database at a time. You can either build a new list from scratch or you can modify the list returned by the databases property and push the entire list back to the project using the updateDatabases method.

updateFolderConnections (folder_connections, {validate})

Parameter	Erläuterung	Datentyp
folder_connections [folder_connections,...]	A list of Python dictionaries that each contain connection properties to an individual folder. The dictionary keys are defined below. connectionString—A local or UNC path to a system folder. alias—An alternative label for a folder connection. If left as an empty string, the alias will match the connectionString value. isHomeFolder—The default home folder. One folder must be set to True. Hinweis: This property can be locked by systems administrators through Application settings.	List
validate	If set to True, the folder will only be added if the connectionString is a valid path. If it is not valid, the folder will not be added and the function will return the dictionary as an invalid folder. If set to False, the method will add all the folders to the project, regardless of whether the folder is valid. (Der Standardwert ist True)	Boolean

ArcGISProject example 1

The following script demonstrates how to import documents into an existing ArcGIS Pro template project. It also sets up some of the default project settings and saves the result to a new project file.

import arcpy
#Reference a blank, template project on disk
p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r"C:\Projects\blank.aprx")

#Import documents set up default GDB and toolbox
p.importDocument(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Documents\Yosemite.mxd")
p.importDocument(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Documents\Yosemite_3DViews.3dd")

#Set up default GDB and toolbox
p.defaultGeodatabase = r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Data_Vector\YosemiteData.gdb"
p.defaultToolbox = r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Analysis\AnalysisTools.tbx"

#Save out to a new, different project
p.saveACopy(r"C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx")

ArcGISProject example 2

The following script prints the names of objects in a project . It uses the keyword CURRENT, so it should be run from the Python window. The script prints the name of each map followed by its list of layers. Then it prints the name of each layout along with page size information.

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT')

#Project information
print(f'Project: {p.filePath}')
print(f' Version: {p.filePath}')
print(f' Last saved: {p.dateSaved}')

#Loop through each map
print('Maps and Layers:')
for m in p.listMaps():
    print(' Map: ' + m.name)
    for lyr in m.listLayers():
        print('  Layer: ' + lyr.name)
        
#Loop through each layout
print('Layouts:')
for lyt in p.listLayouts():
    print(f' Name: {lyt.name}')
    print(f'  W/H: {lyt.pageWidth} x {lyt.pageHeight}')
    print(f'  Units: {lyt.pageUnits}')

ArcGISProject example 3

The following script uses the keyword CURRENT, so it should be run from the Python window. The script copies an existing map, adds a new layer to it, sets the map's default camera property that controls the extent of newly opened views, exports the map view to PDF, and removes the newly created map from the project.

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT')

#Create a copy of an existing map
existingMap = p.listMaps('Yosemite National Park')[0]
rangerMap = p.copyItem(existingMap, new_name='Ranger Stations')

#Add ranger stations layer file
lyrx = arcpy.mp.LayerFile(r'C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\LayerFiles\Ranger Stations.lyrx')
rangerMap.addLayer(lyrx)

#Close any current layout or map views
p.closeViews('MAPS_AND_LAYOUTS')

#Set the default map camera to the extent of the park boundary before opening the new view
#default camera only affects newly opened views
lyr = rangerMap.listLayers('*Park Boundary')[1]
rangerMap.defaultCamera.setExtent(arcpy.Describe(lyr).extent)
rangerMap.openView()

#export the newly opened active view to PDF, then delete the new map
mv = p.activeView
mv.exportToPDF(r'C:\Temp\RangerStations.pdf', width=700, height=500, resolution=96)

#Optionally delete the temporary map when the export is complete
p.deleteItem(rangerMap)

The following script iterates though all file geodatabase layers in a project and adds each unique workspace path to the Folders project item folder.

import arcpy, os
p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(r'C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite.aprx')

#Check project read-state before continuing
if p.isReadOnly:

      if not l.isBasemapLayer:
        if l.supports('DATASOURCE'):
          dirPath = os.path.dirname(l.dataSource)
          #Parce out GDB folders
          pathParts = dirPath.split(os.sep)
          for part in pathParts:
            if part.endswith(".gdb"):
              gdbName = part
              dirPath = dirPath.split("\\"+gdbName, 1)[0]
          #Add unique path to list
          if dirPath not in folderList:
            folderList.append(dirPath)
folderList.sort()
for f in folderList:
    print(f)
print(f'Total Unique Folders: {len(folderList)}')

#Add each folder connection from FolderList, there MUST be one default folder.

fcList = []
for folder in folderList:
  if folder == r'C:\Projects\YosemiteNP':
    defName2 = r'Default Folder'
    fcDict = {'connectionString':folder, 'alias':defName2, 'isHomeFolder':True}

  else:

  fcList.append(fcDict)

bfc = p.updateFolderConnections(fcList, validate=False)
print(f'Broken folder connections: {len(bfc)}')

p.saveACopy(r'C:\Projects\YosemiteNP\Yosemite_Output.aprx')

ArcGISProject example 5

The following script appends new file geodatabases to the Databases project item folder providing quick access to the data from the project.

import arcpy, os
path = r'C:\Projects\YosemiteNP'

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(os.path.join(path, 'Yosemite.aprx'))
#Check project read-state before continuing
if p.isReadOnly:
  print('WARNING: project is already opened. Exiting.')
  exit

db = p.databases

#Append new fGDBs in addition to the already existing default database
db.append({'databasePath' : os.path.join(path, r'Data_Geology\Geology.gdb'),
           'isDefaultDatabase': False})
db.append({'databasePath' : os.path.join(path, r'Data_Elev\Elevation.gdb'),
           'isDefaultDatabase': False})
db.append({'databasePath': os.path.join(path, r'\Data_LandCover\LandCover.gdb'),

p.updateDatabases(db, True)
p.saveACopy(os.path.join(path, 'Yosemite_newGDBs.aprx'))

ArcGISProject example 6

The following script creates a layout in a project and creates predefined graphic elements using a referenced system style. A function is used to create the envelope for each graphic rectangle added to the layout.

def MakeRec_LL(llx, lly, w, h):
    xyRecList = [[llx, lly], [llx, lly+h], [llx+w,lly+h], [llx+w,lly], [llx,lly]]
    xyRecList = [[1,1],[1, 2], [2.75, 2], [2.75, 1], [1, 1]]
    array = arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*coords) for coords in xyRecList])
    rec = arcpy.Polygon(array)
    return rec

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('CURRENT')
lyt = p.createLayout(6, 3, 'INCH', 'New Layout with Rectangles')

#Construct a pre-defined rectangle graphic element using a system style item
# and a rectangle function that takes x/y min/max and a width/height
# using the lower left corner as a start location

polyStyle = p.listStyleItems('ArcGIS 2D', 'Polygon', 'Orchard')[0]

p.createPredefinedGraphicElement(lyt, MakeRec_LL(1, 1, 1.75, 1), 'RECTANGLE',

lyt.openView()

ArcGISProject example 7

The following script creates a map with a graphics layer. Next it adds two pictures to a new group layer within the graphics layer. A function is used to create the envelope for each picture and they are offset by 3000000 map units.

def MakeRec_UL(ulx, uly, w, h):
    xyRecList = [[ulx, uly], [ulx+w, uly], [ulx+w,uly-h], [ulx,uly-h], [ulx,uly]]
    array = arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*coords) for coords in xyRecList])
    rec = arcpy.Polygon(array)
    return rec
        
p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
m = p.createMap('New Map', 'Map') #WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere)
gl = m.createGraphicsLayer('New Graphics Layer')

###Replace with pictures of YOUR favorite pets!
