Greetings,
I'm still fairly new to using the arcpy.mapping functions. I want to add a FeatureClass to my map document which is open.
In looking at other forum threads and reading help, I tried the following code:
This is the result I get back in my Python Shell windowing when I run the script in IDLE:
<geoprocessing Data Frame object object at 0x02C57368>
G:\Documents\GIS\HydstraData\HydstraMeasurementsDeep\HydstraMeasurementsDeep_GroundwaterElevation_Daily_Contours_20130625_20120731.gdb\AllPoints
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:/Documents/GIS/HydstraData/UpdateMxd.py", line 24, in <module>
addLayer = arcpy.Layer(tempLayer)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Layer'
Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!
