Is there a way to test if a data frame has a fixed extent ? I have a process that is creating several maps, some have a fixed extent so I don't need to change the extent. I'd like to test for this so I can skip changing the extent.

Thanks

Python does not provide access to this property.  But with arcpy.mapping you can get the extent of a dataframe.  Knowing the extent coordinates you could determine if the extent changed.
