easily determine corner coordinates of layout?

RAL

How do I easily determine the coordinates of the upper left and lower right corners of my layout?
I know if I export my layout as an image with a world file, that world file will contain the coordinates of the upper left corner.
Is there an easy/automated way to determine the lower right corner's coordinates from the world file? Or via another method?

Thank you for your help!

Using Dynamic Text > Map Frame Coordinates (I assume you working on Layout View).

Here's how I solved this with Python. In my case I am cloning and adding text elements within a layout. I have a case where I need to do this within a layout, and not as labels within a map. Maybe other users will need to do that. Before I can, I need to get the map frame within the layout, interrogate it for it's scale and the extent of the map frame as shown in the layout:

I have a layout called: A Street Map Layout. The map frame within it is the default name, 'Map Frame'.

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
lyt = aprx.listLayouts("A Street Map Layout")[0]
mf = lyt.listElements('MAPFRAME_ELEMENT','Map Frame')[0]

# To read the position on the page:

mfTop = mf.elementPositionY + mf.elementHeight
mfBottom = mf.elementPositionY
mfSide = mf.elementPositionX

# Get scale of map frame

mScale = mf.camera.scale

#Read the extent of the map frame in coordinates. Here are State Plane, Nevada East, assigned in map.

mfExtent = mf.camera.getExtent()

print("Min X,Y position of map in layout: {}, {}".format(mfBottom,mfSide))

print("xMin, YMin: {}, {}".format(mfExtent.XMin, mfExtent.YMin))
print("xMax, YMax: {}, {}".format(mfExtent.XMax, mfExtent.YMax))

Min X,Y position of map in layout: 2.0, 0.43
xMin, YMin: 742798.2847974019, 26763386.193185568
xMax, YMax: 789861.0954051455, 26792858.29058627

This should return the pieces that you are looking for. Hope that this helps someone.

Hi, I'm using ArcMap10.3 and in my version there is "dynamic text" in insert but there is not "map frame coordinates" . how can I insert a corner coordinates to layout?

(sorry for my english is I write wrong think I'm still learn)

Oh my gosh Jayanta, thank you so much! I can't freakin' believe I spent an hour on ESRI and Google trying to find the solution and it's JUST RIGHT THERE! I'm laughing at myself....thank you for saving me!
