Summary
Esri Defense Mapping cartographic production tool that sets feature representations invisible in an input feature layer or selected set of features. Setting a representation invisible does not alter its feature geometry. Use this functionality to improve a map product's aesthetic or cartographic quality by hiding overlapping features and removing visual clutter.
Usage
Use the Production Mapping Show Representation tool to make a representation visible.
Syntax
MakeRepsInvisible(in_features, representation)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_features | The feature layer whose representations will be made invisible. | Layer |
representation | The name of the representation to hide. | String |

arcpy.env.addOutputsToMap = True
# input variables
inFeatures="MGCP\\ContourL50K"
inLayer="ContourL50K"
representation="ContourL_TRD4_MDG"
# make a feature layer of inFeatures
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(inFeatures, inLayer)
# set all reps of type ContourL_TRD4_MDG invisible
arcpy.MakeRepsInvisible_defense(inLayer, representation)
