コードのサンプル

RemoveLayer example:

The following script will remove all layers with the name Rivers from a map document.

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Project\Project.mxd")
for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd):
    for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df):
        if lyr.name.lower() == "rivers":
            arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, lyr)
mxd.saveACopy(r"C:\Project\Project2.mxd")
del mxd
RemoveLayer example 2

The following script will remove a layer from a data frame called County Maps based on it's name and data source because other layers exist within the data frame with the same name but different source.

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Project\Project.mxd")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "County Maps")[0]
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df):
    if lyr.name.lower() == "lakes":
        if lyr.dataSource == r"C:\Project\Data\Data.mdb\NE_Lakes":
            arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, lyr)
mxd.saveACopy(r"C:\Project\Project2.mxd")
del mxd
