Flex API Editing Feature in One Layer as a New Feature in Another Layer

TylerWaring — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 12:48:03 GMT

Greetings Everyone,
I plan to extend some editing capabilities to a application that I created. The user will be adding parcel features to a parcel feature layer that is derived from out master parcel layer. Rather than have the user digitize a new parcel when they add the feature, I would like to give them the ability to select a parcel from our master parcel layer and use it's geometry for the new feature. I can get the parcel graphic from the master parcel layer just fine. However, is it possible to use this graphic to create a new feature in a separate feature layer? I'm trying to do something similar to the Edit-->Copy and Edit-->Paste functionality in ArcGIS Desktop.
Thanks, Tyler

Hi,
if the schema of both layers are equal, then you can simply do:

secondLayer.applyEdits(firstLayer.selectedFeatures, null ,null, new AsyncResponder(copyDone, copyFailed))

firstLayer and secondLayer are both FeatureLayers and copyDone, copyFailed are methods that handle the event that edit is ready or edit failed.
Bye,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas,
I'm just getting back to this project after clearing my plate of some other work. The requirements for this application demand that the schemas be slightly different. The pasteLayer will only have one additional field. Otherwise they are the same.
Thanks, Tyler
