how can we set Label scale and placement property using arcpy?

Question

Below is the code and what I am trying to do is set the scale range on Label minScale = 500000; and label placement should be top center only. I am sure how to automate this through arcpy. arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(FC7, r"C:\Users\Documents\Search_Ring.lyr") layer7 = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"C:\Users\DocumentsSearch_Ring.lyr") Sym_layer7 = r"C:\Users\Documents\Symbology layer new\Search Ring.lyr" arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management (layer7, Sym_layer7) arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, layer7, "AUTO_ARRANGE") lyr7 = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df)[0] lyr7.labelClasses[0].expression = '"{}" + [Candidate_Code] + "{}"'.format("", "") lyr7.showLabels = True lyr7.visible = False lyr7.name = "Search_Ring" lyr7.maxScale = 0; lyr7.minScale = 25000000; lyr7.transparency = 25;

Thankyou.

I don't believe you can.  ArcPy doesn't implement the entire ArcGIS for Desktop object model or API, it implements a subset.  The ArcMap LabelClass is fairly limited.  In your case, it doesn't offer access to scale or placement properties.

No it doesn't throw an error. It does show labels with the format I mentioned in that line. Now I want add the scale to the label and set the placement property to it. Which I have no idea how to do it.
