Hello,
I've writen a Python script which worked perfectly on v 10. now, when i have v 10.1, the script works good except for 1 part: df.zoomToSelectedFeatures. The script selects a parcel, copies it, adds it to an mxd, zooms to it (it's suppose to do it), changes its symbology, sets the df.scale and exports to JPEG file.
Here is the script:
This is only a trial example. the final one will have 'arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)' for the Gush, Helka and workspace parameters.
I simply dont understand why the df.zoomToSelectedFeatures function doesnt work. i get a jpeg file with all the layers and the symbology, and the scale and the text changes, but without the zoom in to the selected features.
Will appriciate any help :-)
