ArcGIS Pro Arcpy create bookmarks from points

PhillipMuggeridge — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:31:33 GMT

Hi,

I have a 2D Map and a point feature class. I would like to create bookmarks for each point in the feature class which I can then use in a time animation. I've looked at the Bookmark—ArcPy | ArcGIS Desktop classes however this only discusses how to work with existing bookmarks not creating new ones through python. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

No... you can use existing bookmarks in Pro and ArcMap through arcpy. You can't create them

This came up in a similar question yesterday.
