No, unfortunately that didn't solve it.</P> Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:47:15 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/set-camera-scale-for-map-frame-with-pythong/m-p/1495984#M84842 IlkaIllers1 2024-06-21T14:47:15Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/set-camera-scale-for-map-frame-with-pythong/m-p/1497056#M84916 <P>I solved the problem by repeating the line, so it says twice mf.camera.scale = 5000. This seems like it might be a bug, I shouldn't have to repeat this, right? But for now it works <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Tue, 25 Jun 2024 11:10:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/set-camera-scale-for-map-frame-with-pythong/m-p/1497056#M84916 IlkaIllers1 2024-06-25T11:10:48Z
