EditGeometry problem outside map area

Question

Hi,

I used EditGeometry for resizing and moving objects (rectangle, for example). And it works fine except for this scenario:
1. Draw something
2. Click on drawing
3. Now select one of anchor points for resizing
4. Move mouse cursor away from the map
5. Observe as soon as you get out map area object is no longer resizing

I noticed that when I'm drawing an object, I don't have this problem, only while editing with EditGeometry.
Can this be fixed and how?

Thank you,
Ana

Hi Ana,

The behavior you are seeing is as designed.  Only those shapes can be drawn outside map area which have mouse gestures of click and drag, i.e. Triangle, Rectangle, circle, ellipse, arrow, line. Shape like Polyline, Polygon or even point cannot be drawn outside map area.
Interactive editing of any shape cannot be done outside of map-area.

Thanks,
Preeti

Hi Ana,

It could be event-related, perhaps you could post a code snippet?

I had a similar problem that was due to the data I was using, not the code. Somes edits were not falling within the spatial grid for the feature class or crossing too many grids. I wasn't using EditGeometry, but this post may be helpful:
