Showing an extent indicator on a map (not a layout)

AlfredBaldenweck — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:59:13 GMT

Hi all,

I'd like to be able to see the extent of a map frame in a layout on the actual map itself (Not on layout).

Something like this

Is this possible?

Thanks!

have you tried dynamic text?

To my knowledge, you can't put dynamic text in a map; it's just for layouts.

To my knowledge you cannot do this in ArcGIS Pro but there is an ArcGIS Idea closely related to what you're asking. Perhaps vote for it and share it with other so they too may vote for it.
