model builder arcgis pro - select, zoom, label parcels

RaeRife — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 22:51:53 GMT

Hello:

I'm new to model builder and python, but would like to know if it's possibly to customize a repeated workflow. I enter the parcel number, zoom to the selected parcel, create a layer or export it to a feature, outline it in bold 3 pt red and label it in white with the Assessor Number and the Acres. This is what I've got so far in model builder but I don't know how to make it zoom to the parcel and do the rest of the steps. Also, I need to be able to change the parcel number each time a new customer enters.

Maybe take a look at:

Unfortunately the code isn't Arcpy.mp; it's the older Arcpy.mapping stuff so you may have to update that but it's probably a good starting point

Thank you Adam. I don't even know how to script in Python, but I'm up for learning.

Doing interactive steps as you described is not the purpose of ModelBuilder, which is for automating geoprocessing workflows.

Everything you described could be encapsulated in a Task instead that gives more guidance to do each of the steps. This will not require any coding and provides an easy-to-use guide for creating reproducible workflows.
