Zooming in Using ArcPy

[MM598]

I am working in ArcPro and trying to create a print tool in which the user makes a point, then the camera zooms into the polygon within that point, and a report is generated with the layout zoomed into that polygon. Any suggestions for code I could use to zoom into a selected polygon?

You must be in Pro?  Since arcpy.mapping (ArcMap) was replaced with arcpy.mp.  Should be able to find what you need there.

Unfortunately, arcpy.mapping does not translate easily to arcpy.mp.

No, arcpy.mapping is deprecated and does not translate easily to arcpy.mp.

[RhettZufelt]

Not sure what you mean by "deprecated".  If you are using ArcMap, then you use arcpy.mapping.  If you are on Pro, it's arcpy.mp.

The link I provided makes it easier to "translate" to arcpy.mp.   

Maybe someone else knows a different way, but I think these are your options to control the "Map" with arcpy.

This method is working fine for me in the Pro python window.

aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
mv = aprx.activeView # mapview
m = mv.map # map
mv.camera.setExtent(mv.getLayerExtent(m.listLayers('USA_Counties_Generalized')[0]))

This works because "getLayerExtent" honors any active selection.

This works. However, it is not working in ArcOnline once I upload the tool. That may call for a different post. . . Thanks for your help!
