Unfortunately, it also locks it in the data view as well. <BR /><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <!-- content transformation source ID: 00a30000006XoEH --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 20:32:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955817#M7994 DouglasRidenour 2010-04-09T20:32:48Z Re: Enable the ability to lock or freeze the extent/scale of a data frame in the layout view. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955818#M7995 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>YES. Please keep&nbsp;Dataframe&nbsp;zoom, position, rotation etc. settings for&nbsp;Layout and Data View separated. It would significantly simplify work. ESRI could take inspiration from AutoCAD (multiple layouts too). <!-- content transformation source ID: 00a30000009b426 --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 04 Feb 2011 13:32:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955818#M7995 JurajKrumpolec 2011-02-04T13:32:20Z Re: Enable the ability to lock or freeze the extent/scale of a data frame in the layout view. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955819#M7996 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>I second duri's comment.&nbsp; Setting a fixed scale/extent in data frame properties is only a partial solution because, as DougR pointed out, it also locks it in the data view.&nbsp;In AutoCAD one can lock a viewport in paper space (equivalent to the data frame in layout view in ArcMap) but it has no effect on model space (equivalent to data view in ArcMap). This&nbsp;would&nbsp;allow one to concentrate on map design in layout view without&nbsp;accidentally changing data frame scale or extent&nbsp;but still allow&nbsp;zoom/pan in data view&nbsp;during data&nbsp;editing. <!-- content transformation source ID: 00a3000000Bfe3e --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:54:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955819#M7996 GregLang1 2011-09-21T13:54:56Z Re: Enable the ability to lock or freeze the extent/scale of a data frame in the layout view. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955820#M7997 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>I agree with this. Arcmap really need to get there layout views up to scratch. Something very similar to paperspace in AutoCAD would be the way to go in my opinion. <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE0000002ydhc --> </BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 May 2013 09:37:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/955820#M7997 ChrisWilson3 2013-05-09T09:37:35Z Re: Enable the ability to lock or freeze the extent/scale of a data frame in the layout view. - Status changed to: Implemented https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/1030887#M15319 <P>This is available with map frame constraints and the separation between map views and layout map frames in ArcGIS Pro.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 26 Feb 2021 04:39:30 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/1030887#M15319 AubriOtis 2021-02-26T04:39:30Z Re: Enable the ability to lock or freeze the extent/scale of a data frame in the layout view. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/1208682#M21091 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="scottblevins_0-1662042296139.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/50125i37E29452EE7B0F12/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="scottblevins_0-1662042296139.png" alt="scottblevins_0-1662042296139.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:25:06 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/enable-the-ability-to-lock-or-freeze-the-extent/idc-p/1208682#M21091 scottblevins 2022-09-01T14:25:06Z
