Zoom to Selected Features Tool for Model Builder

[MikePing]

I would like to be able to create a geoprocessing service that selects a feature(s) and zooms to the selected feature(s).

This can be achived with a simple model and calling arcpy via the Calculate value tool as shown below.


All the code in the Calculate tool is nothing more than:

import arcpy

def zoom():

  mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")

  df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]

  df.zoomToSelectedFeatures()

  return True

With output set to type. Boolean.

That works in ArcMap but it balks when you try to publish it as a geoprocessing service to be used in a web app.
