After Tool Complete change to Rotate Tool

Question

I have a tool that runs and creates a feature where the user clicks. It creates a polygon of a certain shape that the user must move and rotate. How do i initiate either the Move or Rotate modify feature function from code. i can't seem to get the setcurrenttoolasync to do this?

"esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate" is a button (i.e. "command") not a tool. Try this instead: //elsewhere private ICommand _rotate = null; //Do work, process sketch, etc. //ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync( // "esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate"); //activate rotate if (_rotate == null) _rotate = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate") as ICommand; if (_rotate.CanExecute(null)) { _rotate.Execute(null); } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I am not sure why you are deadlocking. FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync would be a no-op in your case because the tool "esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate" does not exist.

I am trying to do this at the end of my OnSketchCompleteAsync at the end but it seems to make my Map unusable and doesn't change the tool. Do I need to deactivate my tool and trigger the other tool or something? ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync("esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate"); I first create a Polyline from a point where a user clicks, then i want the user to rotate that line as they desire. protected async override Task<bool> OnSketchCompleteAsync(Geometry geometry) { await QueuedTask.Run(async () => { //Get the Geometry of the map and project to Local for better distance Geometry thisGeometry = geometry; thisGeometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.Project(geometry, MapView.Active.Map.SpatialReference); double extendLength = 125; Coordinate2D ClickPoint = new Coordinate2D(geometry as MapPoint); //Get the Row Direction Line to Display MapPointBuilder TopPoint = new MapPointBuilder(); MapPointBuilder MidPoint = new MapPointBuilder(); MapPointBuilder BottomPoint = new MapPointBuilder(); MapPointBuilder RowDirectionPoint = new MapPointBuilder(); //Get Top Point TopPoint.X = ClickPoint.X; TopPoint.Y = ClickPoint.Y; //Get Bottom Point BottomPoint.X = ClickPoint.X; BottomPoint.Y = ClickPoint.Y - (extendLength * 2); //Get Mid Point MidPoint.X = ClickPoint.X; MidPoint.Y = ClickPoint.Y - extendLength; //Get Row Direction Point RowDirectionPoint.X = MidPoint.X + (extendLength / 2); RowDirectionPoint.Y = MidPoint.Y; //Creating the Line though the vertex for the direction IList<MapPoint> segmentDirection = new List<MapPoint> { MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(TopPoint.X, TopPoint.Y, thisGeometry.SpatialReference), MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(BottomPoint.X, BottomPoint.Y, thisGeometry.SpatialReference), MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(MidPoint.X, MidPoint.Y, thisGeometry.SpatialReference), MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(RowDirectionPoint.X, RowDirectionPoint.Y, thisGeometry.SpatialReference) }; Polyline directionThroughVertex = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(segmentDirection, thisGeometry.SpatialReference); //Create and Row Direction Feature from the new line string intersectingFeatureName = "Row Direction Line"; FeatureLayer RowDirectionFeatureLayer = FeatureServiceManagement.GetFeatureLayer(intersectingFeatureName); EditOperation RowDirectionCreateOperation = new EditOperation() { Name = string.Format("Create point in '{0}'", intersectingFeatureName), ProgressMessage = "Working...", CancelMessage = "Operation canceled.", ErrorMessage = "Error creating point", SelectModifiedFeatures = true, SelectNewFeatures = true, ShowProgressor = true }; //Create the Feature and get its OID, then we can load it with defaults for the Tool long newFeatureOID = -1; RowDirectionCreateOperation.Create(RowDirectionFeatureLayer, directionThroughVertex, oid => newFeatureOID = oid); bool result = await RowDirectionCreateOperation.ExecuteAsync(); }); //I WANT TO GET THE ROTATE TOOL TO WORK HERE (It deadlocks now or something) ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync("esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate"); return true; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
