You could try something like the following. The script is inspired by this question.
Please note I did not get the scale property to work, so you could try specifying your own scale.
import arcpy
currentProject = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
activeObject = currentProject.activeView
x = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0))
y = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1))
yourScale = float(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2))
xMin = x-yourScale
yMin = y-yourScale
xMax = x+yourScale
yMax = y+yourScale
extent = arcpy.Extent(xMin,yMin,xMax,yMax)
activeObject.camera.setExtent(extent)
Some notes:
- This script assumes you are working in the map you wish to change the view in.
- You can enter the coordinates by hand (hence the GetParameterAsText for x and y) and it assumes you already know the coordinates you are looking for (for example from an Excel file).
- The scale is used to create a square of sorts to set the extent. You may have to alter this to suit your needs.
- The scale is now published as parameter. You could hardcode this or provide a default value.
If this is not really what you are looking for, could you please elaborate what the script should do?
