Using arcpy to pan across map's data frame

Kevin_C

I have a total of 150 maps I used arcpy and the Mapping module to create. Everything works and looks fine, except that some maps have features being hidden by an inset data frame. I cannot change the position of the inset data frame, so that's out of the question. Is there a way using arcpy and the mapping module to pan across the map?

I use a bit of python script and pointers to bookmarks to output maps:

for bkmk in arcpy.mapping.ListBookmarks(mxd, data_frame=df):
      
    LookupText1 = bkmk.name
    df.extent = bkmk.extent
    arcpy.AddMessage(bkmk)
    arcpy.RefreshActiveView()<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Let me know if you need some more information on how to do this.

Best Regards,

Jim
