Disallow null geometry when creating feature class

Bud — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 05:53:45 GMT

It's possible to create features where the shape is not null, but the geometry is null.

When creating a feature class using Catalog, could an option be added that would let us prevent null geometries? I'm not aware of a way to do that using attribute rules.

See states #1-4 in this post for a summary: Select features that have blank shapes
Disallow nil (zero-vertex) geometry when creating feature class
Disallow null shape when creating feature class
I do have a related post about null geometries here: ST_Geometry — Don't allow null geometry.
But that's an idea for a constraint at the database level in the PL/SQL datatype, not at the application level in ArcGIS Pro/Catalog.

2. Empty

3. Has an empty envelope

4. Not simple
