Editing features on another class with attribute rules - Points

Jake_S

Hey folks,

Stumbled upon this post, Advanced Attribute Rules - Editing features on another class with attribute rules where inserting a point created a buffer polygon feature class. I wanted to use this when a user creates an annotation feature a similar rule would create a point feature class. When I use almost identical code just pointed to a point feature class. 

 

 

var featureGeo = Geometry($feature);
return {
      "result": $feature.OBJECT__ID,
      "edit": [  
        {  
            "className" : "LocalPoints", 
            "adds" : [   
                   {
                         "attributes":  
                          {
                                "TextString": $feature.TextString
                            }, 
                         "geometry": featureGeo
                   }
          ]
         }  
  ]
}

 

 

 

I get the following error..

Am I using the wrong function to return the annotation feature geometry? Or is it my Pro Version? 2.6.6

Any help for this noob is appreciated!

Annotation features seem to be treated as polygons. So when you try to just copy the geometry to a point fc, it throws an error.

Depending on where you want the point to show up, you have a few options:

• Centroid(featureGeo), this will place the point in the center of the annotation
• featureGeo.rings[0][1], this will place the point at the bottom left corner of the annotation
• featureGeo.ring[0][X], where X is 0, 2 or 3, this will place the point at one of the other corners
