I need to change the extent of my view extent to a given parcel of land (which is a user input in a script tool). My current methodology is to create a feature layer, then select it, then zoomToSelectedFeatures(). The problem is, the feature layer isn't automatically added to the Map when that line of code is executed.
I've tried many fixes, and been back and forth with an ESRI Rep (who apparently grew tired of my problem and has since stopped responding to my inqueries).
