I'd like to take my selected set and zoom to it in the Arcpy.mapping module.
Online I found the df.ZoomToSelectedFeatures but I keep getting this error message:
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'ZoomToSelectedFeatures'
Failed to execute (testScript)
what does that mean? my code looks like:
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd,"Layers")[0]
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "Tantalis Files", df)[0]
lyr_qry = "CROWN_LANDS_FILE = '" + filenum + "'"
print lyr_qry
gp.AddMessage(lyr_qry)
gp.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr , "CLEAR_SELECTION")
gp.AddMessage("old selection cleared")
gp.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(lyr , "NEW_SELECTION", lyr_qry)
df.ZoomToSelectedFeatures(lyr)
gp.RefreshActiveView()
gp.AddMessage("zoomed - happy?")
