ArcGIS Pro 2.1 does not allow saving / exporting of a model constructed with ModelBuilder as a Python script.

It seems that the only way we can circumvent this limitation is to click on each individual geoprocessing history item, but, it is not very efficient to do so.

Is there another workaround?

  If you have ArcMap installed, perhaps export the Pro toolbox to 10.4 and then export the model to a script in ArcMap.

  why not just code it directly in python. modelbuilder is pretty clunky and spits out some crazy code about half the time for me anyway.

  I know money is tight but if they can't see the benefit of getting you up to speed in python it's their loss and ultimately going to cost them more in the long term. I agree esri courses are expensive but there is an industry out there selling training usually much cheaper.

The reasons for the removal of this functionality are given at What happened To Export Script Button In ArcGIS Pro? by dflater-esristaff:

The ability to export from ModelBuilder to a Python script was removed
from ArcGIS Pro 1.1 because it did not match user expectations to
provide a one-to-one export of your model to Python. The scripts
generated by exported models were missing nested sub-models, and did
not include iterators, feedback loops, and in-line variable
substitution. Models with these components would require major changes
that most people who use Export are not able to make themselves. There
is currently no plan to add this capability back into ArcGIS Pro.

I ceased exporting ModelBuilder models in ArcMap to Python code the day I discovered Copy As Python Snippet because the exported code was far harder to understand and debug due to the way it named variables, lacked understanding of iterators, etc.

I think it is far easier to learn ArcPy in ArcGIS Pro by using Copy Python Command to copy the exact Python syntax needed to run the geoprocessing tool with the same parameter settings previously used, and then paste it into a script that you are writing.

Alternatively, if you want to quickly run your model using ArcPy, dflater-esristaff also describes a workaround of:

Start by building and saving a model, then create a new Python script
file (which is just a text file with .py extension), then using a text
editor or Python IDE add lines to the new script to import arcpy,
import the toolbox containing your model, and finally run the model.

...

import arcpy

arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"c:pathtotbxToolbox.tbx", "mytools")

arcpy.MyModel_mytools(r"c:modelinputsData.gdbInputFeatures")

because of this fact, that the export-function is removed from the functionality of acrgispro, I never will use this program and so I hope arcgismap will have a very long "span of life"
