[GIS] Using Python add-in wizard with ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop

arcgis-10.3arcpypython-addin

I'd like to create an add-in for ArcMap (ArcGIS 10.3) using Python. Unfortunately, the wizard does not seem to have been updated for 10.3, which is the only version Esri provides for download at present (AFAIK). I don't have any other version installed, and never did because I'm starting fresh on a new PC.

Is there a wizard for 10.3?

If not, is there good documentation about what the wizard did for 10.1 and 10.2? If it only creates an XML document supplying the metadata and the name of the Python class to be instantiated on button-push, I'm sure I can replicate that. I just can't find any detailed information from ESRI; the help documents discuss the wizard as though it is the only option.

Best Answer

I was stupid and did not read the instructions correctly. I thought I had a version problem because the documentation was listed for ArcGIS 10.1 and the tutorial images did not match expectations (items were missing from the wizard).

Turns out I just had to right-click to be presented with the "missing" options.
