No Snapping Ability for Measurement Tools in Instant Apps?

AnnaCG — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 15:48:33 GMT

The measurement tool available in WepApp Builder allowed the user to hold Ctrl while clicking the mouse to snap the tool to a vertex or edge, but I'm not seeing the same capability in the Instant Apps measurement tool. The features in question need to be measured down to the fraction of a linear foot for legal purposes, so collecting an accurate starting and ending point is critical for this app. Am I missing something or is this an instance where I'll have to utilize Experience Builder instead of Instant Apps? Thanks all!

Hi @AnnaCG

Thanks for reaching out about this. I will pass this feedback along to the team. Right now snapping is not available with the measure tool in Instant Apps.

Thanks!

Hi @SarahMcDonald_Esri ,

Thanks for your response! Do you know if snapping is available in the Experience Builder measurement tool or widget?

Thanks so much,

Anna
