Batch Replace a Layer within multiple MXDs in a Folder

This one is helpful if you have many MXDs located within a folder that need a layer replaced. For those who create Map Books, this could come handy. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 # Name: Replace layers in MXD TOC # Purpose: This script is meant to be added to an ArcGIS Toolbox. # It will copy all MXDs within the specified directory to a folder on your desktop. # Then it will scan each MXD in that desktop folder, looking for a layer name, per user input, # and replace with an existing layer file, per user input. # Author: Nicole Ceranek # Date...

Optimize Your MXDs

MXD Perfstat is a great utility to analyze your GIS MXD files.
