Snapping for XY Event Layer

This should be a simple request: please add snapping capabilities for points in an XY Event Layer. Thanks!

@AlexZhuk Can you please confirm if the XY Event Layer that you have includes ObjectIDs? You can check in the layer properties source tab:

Thanks for any clarification!

Interesting... Just ran a test. Created an event layer, based on Excel table. It has ObjectID "32-bit" and it does have snapping abilities. Thanks! I guess you can close the idea.

@KoryKramer Does this only work with Excel? I've got a .csv file I've created an Event Layer from (in 3.3) but it still say's "ObjectID = None"

I don't want my data in Excel. It is a nightmare to deal with the funny business that Excel does to tabular data. Having a .csv or .txt format is usually preferred. (well having it in a geodatabase is preferred but not always possible when sharing data between applications.)

Also, where is this new functionality documented?
