Does anyone know of a way to use FME to generate a .lyrx file with symbology that I could then use in ArcGIS Pro?

 

I think a lyrx file is just XML under the hood? Making and remaking layers in ArcGIS Pro is a pretty huge pain point for me, and I'd love to see someone make a transformer / writer to help with this, so that I can just specify a data source, specify symbology parameters and click 'Run' in FME to generate this > add to ArcGIS Pro, instead of using ArcGIS Pro's laggy interface to click around in the symbology pane.

 

@mark2atsafe​ thought you might know of a solution? Thank you

If you open a .lyrx file in a text editor you'll quickly see if it's XML or not. If it is, and you know the schema, you should be able to generate them using FME.

It looks like it's actually JSON. The only problem is writing the JSON updates back to .lyrx with FME?
