Arcpy set extent of map with CIM

XavierRouxRacine1

Hello, 

I try to set the extent of a map in a aprx by setting the definition of this one. I want to set by setting the defautExtent parameter with a CIM object. Here is my code I want to proceed but it is unsucessful : 

 

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
m = p.listMaps('*')[0]

m_cim = m.getDefinition('V2') #Get the Map's CIM definition

 

extent = m.listLayers('*')[0].getExtent()

CimExtent = arcpy.cim.CreateCIMObjectFromClassName('CIMExtentIndicator', 'V2')
CimExtent .values = extent 
m_cim.defaultExtent = RGBColor

m.setDefinition(m_cim)

p.save()

 

Does the CIMExtentIndicator is the good object type to set the extent of the map. 

 

Thank you

I discussed it with esri support lately.

The setExtent works on MapView only so there is  no way to do it on an aprx that is not current.

Using the CIM to do it can be a workaround if somebody can find the correct way to do it.
