ArcGis Online - how to move a feature

MelissaMitchell — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 18:57:11 GMT

I'm not sure how to move a feature while editing. I can add and delete but can't move the point. I've looked at the properties and full editing has been enabled. I can't figure out how to move the feature to another location.

thank you!

this happens sometimes if the features are symolized based on an attribute, if you change the symbol to a location only type it works better

With editing enabled try clicking on the "Edit Button" located between "Add" and "Basemap". This should bring up a screen allowing you to add data points. While this screen is active you should be able to relocate existing points.

When you click edit on the feature in the popup, click and grab the feature with your mouse and then you can drag the point feature to that new location.

Same issue here and none of the above seems to help. I can edit, create and delete but unable to move a feature. The only to move the feature is to bring it back to my desktop and work on it (slow) or move it in Collector.

I know you said you've checked the permissions but just to verify...

On the feature class, click on edit and look under Properties > Editing section.

Make sure that Add, update and delete features is the option selected.

Everything looks fine here:

I've found the same issue, but only with line features. I can edit/move a polygon feature in the same feature service, but the only way I can interact with a line feature is editing the attributes.

HOWEVER

I can edit that line feature using the Collector app on my Android.

I would say it appears to be a bug.

I can edit lines, can you share your map with my test account russrob and I can see if I can repro this issue. Also what browser are you using?

Thanks

Russ

Here's the link. The features are only demo for showing mobile mapping capabilities to another office so all of the features on the map are essentially meaningless. Feel free to edit however you like.

Well, I see SOMEONE has tried to edit an hour or 2 ago. They added a feature, but no other lines have moved.

That was me checking out your map and services. Just looking into your services and I see that m values are set to true. I think this is the reason why the geometry editing is being blocked. Probably b/c editing the geometry would cause m values to be lost for that feature but I am just waiting to confirm this with a colleague right now.

Time was only set for the outfallinspections layer (point) which I was able to edit. I just disabled it for that layer, but I'm still not able to edit line features.

Re: ArcGis Online - how to move a feature

The issue is with the m values being enabled on the feature class when the feature class was created. The feature service then gets the property m values: true. You can see this at the REST endpoint of the feature service: HasM: true. The map viewer prevents the editing of geometries when the m values have been enabled b/c they do not support editing m values and the feature would lose the values on features if you edited there geometry in the map viewer.

That would explain it. I just grabbed some layers from LGIM that were potentially relative to the project in question. Didn't think to look for the M values.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I need to move an area. Hope you find the solution!

Re: ArcGis Online - how to move a feature

It looks like the issue above was caused by M values being required on the data. If you navigate to your rest endpoint? do you see the following parameter HasM: true.?

I'm having the same issue, Portal 10.3 editable feature service, HasM:false. I did not add the feature service to Portal as an item, just added the layer directly from our server.

Any thoughts?

NadineTrahan1 — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 16:34:33 GMT

Has this been resolved for anyone? I've checked all of the suggestions, Enable Editing is on and HasM: False.

Yet I cannot update.

I'm serving the point feature classing using ArcGIS Portal 10.4, the data are in a verisioned gdb and working with the map in an app. Anything?

I found the issue. In order to select the feature and see the attribute popup, you must drag select it with the tool, but if you want to move it, you need to just single click on it, then move it.
