Future support for multi-touch drawing?

IdoFlatow

Currently version 2.1 and I assume 2.2 also only supports multitouch for map gestures (zoom/pan...).

One of the requirements I'm getting from my customers is the need to support multitouch drawing, for example to support multiple users drawing freehand at the same time.

Will this scenario bee supported in the future?

You might have already seen Morten's response at the beta community user forum. https://betacommunity.esri.com/project/forum/thread.html?cap=AC8F7DE1342E49F29D7790E0A114354B&forid={BDCF4025-CF38-4256-806D-41BFE4843AEC}&topid={F3C38836-79E2-4B55-BA20-4354DCA34DC8}

But for those who may not already be part of the beta community. This was Morten's reply:

Multi-user drawing is not something that is on our roadmap (the map interprets multiple touchpoints as zooming/pinching).

However, it is fairly simple to do something like this using a little bit of custom code. Use the Touch.FrameReported event to detect all touchpoints, and the Map.ScreenToMap on each point to build a polyline for each touch id.
To prevent the map from navigating while you do this set IsEnabled or IsHitTestVisible to false.
