V5 - SceneView / Sketch. Unable to draw points

DavidOke — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 13:12:55 GMT

Hello,

I'm running into an issue on ArcGIS Core / web components 5.0 where sketch will only let me draw one point and attempting to to draw any new point after this will fail to draw. This is reproducible with a simple app:

https://codepen.io/daveoke/pen/XJjeBdX

Issue only happens with a SceneView.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select the Point drawing tool

2. Draw the first point (point will draw)

3. Any new point after this will fail to draw.

You will need a graphics layer to store them in. See this example.

My app does have one and has the same behavior. However, the new Sketch web component actually creates a default graphics layer.

The example is from a previous (now deprecated) version using widgets and worked for us in the past.

I see. If you change it from a scene to a map it works fine. Must be a bug. You could try like the example as a work around perhaps? Might need to add an event listener like sketchViewModel.cancel() after each point creation if it acts the same there too.
