CIMSymbol not tiling correctly

JamesIng — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 19:12:50 GMT

Hi there, we've been playing with the CIMSymbol and have created a simple symbol comprised of a base color and three hatch fills ontop. The hatch fills are rotated 45, 90, and 135.

But we're noticed on more than one occasion the symbol doesn't tile correctly and the hatch fills 'break' along the tile.

In this image you can see the CIMSymbol - as well as a enlarged close up to show the mis-alignment.

The symbol itself doesn't have anything fancy like primitive overrides or anything.

Has anyone encountered this tiling issue?

Symbol for reference

Hi @JamesIng - what version of the API are you using?

Hi Anne,

We're using 4.25.5 via arcGIS/core

Thanks! I'm able to reproduce, but only at large scales. Do you still see the tiling issue if you zoom out a bit?

Anyways, we'll look into this! Thanks for reporting.

Doesnt appear to happen when zoomed out.- but that's potentially due to our geometry not being large enough for it tile at that scale.

Hi @JamesIng , we've installed a fix for this for the June (4.27) release. It is available for testing now on the development version of the API, https://js.arcgis.com/next. Let us know if you are still running into any issues, and you can expect this fix in the upcoming release of the API in June!
