SketchViewModel on picturemarker symbol has too narrow active surface to be grabbed and moved

ChristopheS — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 09:39:58 GMT

Hi All,

Is there a way to adjust active surface of handled cursor for moving in sketchViewModel ?

In this sample :

https://codepen.io/Chris_Siveco/pen/bGWLXLE

you can see how narrow is the surface for grabbing the marker and moving it around.

The sketch active surface for moving is around a point at the center of the marker, but it is so narrow that most of the users has difficulties to catch it !

Regards

Chris

Hello Chris, @ChristopheS ,

This is a known limitation with PictureMarkerSymbols (PMS). With Sketch and SketchViewModel, the area you can click and drag is the actual point geometry, not the entire PMS symbol. This becomes more apparent when you set an offset on the PMS symbol. There is an existing bug submitted recently BUG-000141053, and we are currently working on a solution for this.

Thanks,

Jose
