Arcade Geometry Function not working

Jack_Zhang

try to use ArcGIS Arcade Script to create geometries. However, even take the sample code provided by ESRI and run it in Arcade playground, it returns me the error "Execution Error:Cannot create Geometry in this SpatialReference. Engine is using a different spatial reference."

The code attached below:
var pointJSON = {'x' : -118.15, 'y' : 33.80, 'spatialReference' : {'wkid' : 4326}};
Point(pointJSON)

What's going on???

Hi Jack and Xander Bakker‌,

The following statement is incorrect:

"At this moment only Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) (102100 or 3857) is support for the creation of geometries."

You can create geometries in any spatial reference in Arcade. However, the spatial reference of the geometry must match the spatial reference of the map where the Arcade is executed. Since a lot of maps have a web mercator spatial reference it appears like you can only work in web mercator.
